And there came a voice from heaven, saying,
You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
All Commentaries on Mark 1:11 Go To Mark 1
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Whichever of the Evangelists may have preserved for us the words as they were literally uttered by the heavenly voice, the others have varied the terms only with the object of setting forth the same sense more familiarly, so that what is thus given by all of them might be understood as if the expression were: In You I have set my good pleasure; that is to say, by You I am doing what is my pleasure. .
