SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:14
¶ Mas despus que Juan fue encarcelado, Jess vino a Galilea, predicando el Evangelio del Reino de Dios,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 1:14
Verse 14. Preaching the Gospel of the kingdom] See the notes on Matt. iii. 2; and on the office of the preacher, or herald, at the end of that chapter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. Now after that John was put in prison , etc..] In the castle of Macherus, by Herod, for reproving him for taking his brother Philip's wife: Jesus came into Galilee : again, from whence he came to be baptized of John: preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God : the good news and glad tidings of the kingdom of the Messiah, or Gospel dispensation; which lies not in worldly pomp and splendour, in outward observances, in legal rites and ceremonies, but in righteousness, peace, and joy; in peace and pardon by the blood of Christ, in justification by his righteousness, and in free and full salvation by him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-22 - Jesus began to preach in Galilee, after that John was put in prison. I some be laid aside, others shall be raised up, to carry on the sam work. Observe the great truths Christ preached. By repentance we giv glory to our Creator whom we have offended; by faith we give glory to our Redeemer who came to save us from our sins. Christ has joined thes two together, and let no man think to put them asunder. Christ put honour upon those who, though mean in this world, are diligent in their business and kind to one another. Industry and unity are good an pleasant, and the Lord Jesus commands a blessing on them. Those who Christ calls, must leave all to follow him; and by his grace he make them willing to do so. Not that we must needs go out of the world, but we must sit loose to the world; forsake every thing that is against ou duty to Christ, and that cannot be kept without hurt to our souls Jesus strictly kept the sabbath day, by applying himself unto, an abounding in the sabbath work, in order to which the sabbath rest wa appointed. There is much in the doctrine of Christ that is astonishing and the more we hear it, the more cause we see to admire it.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:14 {Jesus came into Galilee} (elqen ho iesous eis ten galilaian). Here Mark begins the narrative of the active ministry of Jesus and he is followed by Matthew and Luke. Mark undoubtedly follows the preaching of Peter. But for the Fourth Gospel we should not know of the year of work in various parts of the land (Perea, Galilee, Judea, Samaria) preceding the Galilean ministry. John supplements the Synoptic Gospels at this point as often. The arrest of John had much to do with the departure of Jesus from Judea to Galilee (#Joh 4:1-4). {Preaching the gospel of God} (kerusswn to euaggelion tou qeou). It is the subjective genitive, the gospel that comes from God. Swete observes that repentance (metanoia) is the keynote in the message of the Baptist as gospel (euaggelion) is with Jesus. But Jesus took the same line as John and proclaimed both repentance and the arrival of the kingdom of God. Mark adds to Matthew's report the words "the time is fulfilled" (peplerwtai ho kairos). It is a significant fact that John looks backward to the promise of the coming of the Messiah and signalizes the fulfilment as near at hand (perfect passive indicative). It is like Paul's fulness of time (plerwma tou cronou) in #Ga 4:4 and fulness of the times (plerwma ton kairwn) in #Eph 1:10 when he employs the word kairos, opportunity or crisis as here in Mark rather than the more general term cronos. Mark adds here also: "and believe in the gospel" (kai pisteuete en twi euaggeliwi). Both repent and believe in the gospel. Usually faith in Jesus (or God) is expected as in #John 14:1. But this crisis called for faith in the message of Jesus that the Messiah had come. He did not use here the term Messiah, for it had come to have political connotations that made its use at present unwise. But the kingdom of God had arrived with the presence of the King. It does make a difference what one believes. Belief or disbelief in the message of Jesus made a sharp cleavage in those who heard him. "Faith in the message was the first step; a creed of some kind lies at the basis of confidence in the Person of Christ, and the occurrence of the phrase pistuete en twi euaggeli"i in the oldest record of the teaching of our Lord is a valuable witness to this fact" (Swete).
