##### "You can make me clean"
Leprosy was a disease of the skin that made a person unclean and unable to properly worship God. Jesus is capable of making people physically "clean" or healthy as well as spiritually "clean" or right with God. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/clean]])
##### "The kingdom of God is near"
##### Prophecy
Mark begins this book about Jesus Christ with the words that the prophet Isaiah wrote long before that time. Then he tells how John the Baptist and Jesus Christ fulfilled that prophecy.
Scholars debate whether the "kingdom of God" was present at the time of Jesus or is something that would come later. English translations frequently use the phrase "at hand," but this can create difficulty for translators. Other versions use the phase "is coming" or "has come near."
##### Repentance
Repent means stop sinning. John the Baptist taught people to repent so that God would forgive their sins. Jesus taught people to repent and to believe the good news about the kingdom of God.
##### The work of Jesus
Jesus went around preaching the good news of God, casting demons out of people, and healing people who were sick.
