Markus 1:32

1:32 When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed.

Markus 6:3

6:3 Isn’t this the carpenter, the son ¹  of Mary ²  and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t his sisters here with us?” And so they took offense at him.

Markus 6:5

6:5 He was not able to do a miracle there, except to lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

Markus 6:15

6:15 Others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets from the past.”

Markus 12:32

12:32 The expert in the law said to him, “That is true, Teacher; you are right to say that he is one, and there is no one else besides him. ³ 

Markus 14:20

14:20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand ⁴  with me into the bowl. ⁵ 

Markus 14:41

14:41 He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? ⁶  Enough of that! ⁷  The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Markus 14:44

14:44 (Now the betrayer ⁸  had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.”) ⁹ 

Markus 14:54

14:54 And Peter had followed him from a distance, up to the high priest’s courtyard. He ¹⁰  was sitting with the guards ¹¹  and warming himself by the fire.

Markus 15:31

15:31 In the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law ¹²  – were mocking him among themselves: ¹³  “He saved others, but he cannot save himself!

Markus 16:7

16:7 But go, tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”

[6:3]  ¹ tc Evidently because of the possible offensiveness of designating Jesus a carpenter, several mss ([Ì^45vid] ˹³ 33^vid [565 579] 700 [2542] pc it vg^mss) harmonize the words “carpenter, the son” to the parallel passage in Matt 13:55, “the son of the carpenter.” Almost all the rest of the mss read “the carpenter, the son.” Since the explicit designation of Jesus as a carpenter is the more difficult reading, and is much better attested, it is most likely correct.

[6:3]  ² sn The reference to Jesus as the carpenter is probably derogatory, indicating that they knew Jesus only as a common laborer like themselves. The reference to him as the son of Mary (even though Jesus’ father was probably dead by this point) appears to be somewhat derogatory, for a man was not regarded as his mother’s son in Jewish usage unless an insult was intended (cf. Judg 11:1-2; John 6:42; 8:41; 9:29).

[12:32]  ³ sn A quotation from Deut 4:35.

[14:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “one who dips with me.” The phrase “his hand” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[14:20]  ⁵ sn One who dips with me in the bowl. The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him – somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.

[14:41]  ⁶ tn Or “Sleep on, and get your rest.” This sentence can be taken either as a question or a sarcastic command.

[14:41]  ⁷ tc Codex D (with some support with minor variation from W Θ Ë¹³ 565 2542 pc it) reads, “Enough of that! It is the end and the hour has come.” Evidently, this addition highlights Jesus’ assertion that what he had predicted about his own death was now coming true (cf. Luke 22:37). Even though the addition highlights the accuracy of Jesus’ prediction, it should not be regarded as part of the text of Mark, since it receives little support from the rest of the witnesses and because D especially is prone to expand the wording of a text.

[14:44]  ⁸ tn Grk “the one who betrays him.”

[14:44]  ⁹ sn This remark is parenthetical within the narrative and has thus been placed in parentheses.

[14:54]  ¹⁰ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[14:54]  ¹¹ sn The guards would have been the guards of the chief priests who had accompanied Judas to arrest Jesus.

[15:31]  ¹² tn Or “with the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22. Only “chief priests” is in the nominative case; this sentence structure attempts to capture this emphasis.

[15:31]  ¹³ tn Grk “Mocking him, the chief priests…said among themselves.”
