Markus 10:38
Konteks10:38 But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I experience?” 1
Markus 12:35
Konteks12:35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the experts in the law 2 say that the Christ 3 is David’s son? 4
Markus 12:41
Konteks12:41 Then 5 he 6 sat down opposite the offering box, 7 and watched the crowd putting coins into it. Many rich people were throwing in large amounts.
Markus 14:49
Konteks14:49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, yet 8 you did not arrest me. But this has happened so that 9 the scriptures would be fulfilled.”
[10:38] 1 tn Grk “baptism I am baptized with.” This same change has been made in v. 39.
[12:35] 2 tn Or “that the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
[12:35] 3 tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”
[12:35] sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.
[12:35] 4 sn It was a common belief in Judaism that Messiah would be David’s son in that he would come from the lineage of David. On this point the Pharisees agreed and were correct. But their understanding was nonetheless incomplete, for Messiah is also David’s Lord. With this statement Jesus was affirming that, as the Messiah, he is both God and man.
[12:41] 5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
[12:41] 6 tc Most
[12:41] 7 tn On the term γαζοφυλάκιον (gazofulakion), often translated “treasury,” see BDAG 186 s.v., which states, “For Mk 12:41, 43; Lk 21:1 the mng. contribution box or receptacle is attractive. Acc. to Mishnah, Shekalim 6, 5 there were in the temple 13 such receptacles in the form of trumpets. But even in these passages the general sense of ‘treasury’ is prob., for the contributions would go [into] the treasury via the receptacles.” Based upon the extra-biblical evidence (see sn following), however, the translation opts to refer to the actual receptacles and not the treasury itself.
[12:41] sn The offering box probably refers to the receptacles in the temple forecourt by the Court of Women used to collect freewill offerings. These are mentioned by Josephus, J. W. 5.5.2 (5.200); 6.5.2 (6.282); Ant. 19.6.1 (19.294), and in 1 Macc 14:49 and 2 Macc 3:6, 24, 28, 40 (see also Luke 21:1; John 8:20).
[14:49] 8 tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) is elastic enough to be used contrastively on occasion, as here.
[14:49] 9 tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.
