7 The gospels of Matthew and Luke tell of Jesus' birth and early life. John's gospel begins with Jesus' involvement in the beginning of creation. What event in Jesus' life does Mark's gospel begin with?
Answer: His baptism

"The word baptism comes from the Greek verb baptizo meaning 'to dip, immerse, submerge.' Baptism is a sacred rite that signifies purification, initiation, or identification of an individual with a leader, group or teaching." (Thomas Nelson Edition of the New King James Version Study Bible)

The Gospels teach that John the Baptist was the messenger sent by God to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah (Jesus). People came to John confessing their sins and their baptism was a sign of their desire to turn from sin and live righteous lives.

Jesus was not being baptized because of his sin. Many consider this a ceremonial baptism consecrating him to his ministry.

"At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.'" (Mark 1:9-11)

The correct answer is "he would tear the chain apart and no one was strong enough to subdue him." Either he was a strong man or the evil spirit inside him gave him super strength.
