Markus 15:41

15:41 When he was in Galilee, they had followed him and given him support. ⁴  Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem ⁵  were there too.

[5:4]  ¹ tn Grk “he had often been bound with chains and shackles.” “Shackles” could also be translated “fetters”; they were chains for the feet.

[5:4]  ² tn Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[6:17]  ³ tn Grk “he”; here it is necessary to specify the referent as “Herod,” since the nearest previous antecedent in the translation is Philip.

[15:41]  ⁴ tn Grk “and ministered to him.”

[15:41]  sn Cf. Luke 8:3.
