and saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς
/has_been/_fulfilled the time
When time has been fulfilled, that means that it is now the moment that God has appointed for something to happen. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The time that God appointed has arrived” or “The time is right”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς
/has_been/_fulfilled the time
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The time has come” or “The time is here”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἤγγικεν
/has/_neared
Here Matthew uses this phrase in the sense of near in time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “is about to begin” or “is about to happen”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
μετανοεῖτε & πιστεύετε
/be/_repenting & /be/_believing
Since Jesus is speaking to many people, the commands Repent and believe are plural.
1:15 Jesus’ preaching is summarized by his announcement that the Kingdom of God had come, and that people needed to repent and believe the Good News about the Messiah (1:1).
• The Kingdom of God is not tied to a territory; it dynamically began in Jesus’ person and extended to his followers.
• In response to the arrival of God’s Kingdom, people are called to repent (to turn from sin and yield to God) and to have faith in God’s Good News. In Jesus’ time, the Good News was the arrival of God’s reign through the Messiah. For Mark’s later audience, it was the news of Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and promised return (15:1–16:8). All people, Jews and Gentiles alike, need God’s forgiveness through repentance and faith in Jesus.
