Markus 7:32

7:32 They brought to him a deaf man who had difficulty speaking, and they asked him to place his hands on him.

Markus 8:2

8:2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days, and they have nothing to eat.

Markus 8:25

8:25 Then Jesus ¹  placed his hands on the man’s ²  eyes again. And he opened his eyes, ³  his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

Markus 10:47

10:47 When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to shout, ⁴  “Jesus, Son of David, ⁵  have mercy ⁶  on me!”

Markus 14:49

14:49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, yet ⁷  you did not arrest me. But this has happened so that ⁸  the scriptures would be fulfilled.”

[8:25]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:25]  ² tn Grk “his”; the referent (the blind man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:25]  ³ tn Or “he looked intently”; or “he stared with eyes wide open” (BDAG 226 s.v. διαβλέπω 1).

[10:47]  ⁴ tn Grk “to shout and to say.” The infinitive λέγειν (legein) is redundant here and has not been translated.

[10:47]  ⁵ sn Jesus was more than a Nazarene to this blind person, who saw quite well that Jesus was Son of David. There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, Ant. 8.2.5 [8.42-49]).

[10:47]  ⁶ sn Have mercy on me is a request for healing. It is not owed the man. He simply asks for God’s kind grace.

[14:49]  ⁷ tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) is elastic enough to be used contrastively on occasion, as here.

[14:49]  ⁸ tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.
