1. Mark 1:9 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Why is "Jesus" not further explained?

Mark 1:9 (ESV)

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

The name Jesus is not further explained because it links up with the broad designation of the name in the heading above Mark 1:4–13 (namely, Mark 1:1–3).1
