Jesus begins his preaching only after John the Baptist was captured . Today's Gospel tells about the beginning of Jesus' ministry in this way.
This may not be a great interesting detail,
but it is important and has the following reasons.
For although the two - John and Jesus, had the same goal, they had completely different methods of preaching.
John was a strict Prophet; Jesus was closer to people and a social type.
Had John and Jesus began to preach at the same time,
then they would put up the successors in confusion.
