Introduction:

An Initial Reflection on the Mystery of Jesus 1

Chapter Three: The Gospel of the Kingdom of God 46

• Both evangelists (MK 1:14-15 and MT 9:35) designate Jesus' preaching with the Greek term evangelion.
• The modern translation "good news" is not adequate. The messages issued by the emperor were called in Latin evangelium regardless of whether or not their content was particularly cheerful of pleasant. The idea is what comes from the emperor is a saving message, that is not just a piece of news, but a change of the world for the better.
• ...we would say that the evangelium is not just informative speech, but preformative - not just the imparting of information, but action, efficatious power that enters the world to save and transform.
