Markus 4:1

The Parable of the Sower

4:1 Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while ¹  the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake.

Markus 3:9

3:9 Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him so the crowd ²  would not press toward him.

[4:1]  ¹ tn Grk “and all the crowd.” The clause in this phrase, although coordinate in terms of grammar, is logically subordinate to the previous clause.

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
