Exegesis
The main clause centers on ēlthen ho Iēsous {ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς | êlthen hò Iēsoûs}, where the aorist indicative ēlthen portrays Jesus’ coming as a decisive movement, and the subject is delayed until after the verb, a common narrative order that keeps focus on the action.
In context — Mark 1:14
And after John was handed over, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God .
