Markus 12:10

12:10 Have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. ¹⁰ 

[3:1]  ¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[3:1]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:1]  ³ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

[3:1]  ⁴ sn Withered means the man’s hand was shrunken and paralyzed.

[3:20]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[3:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:9]  ⁸ sn The name Legion means “thousands,” a word taken from a Latin term for a large group of soldiers. The term not only suggests a multiple possession, but also adds a military feel to the account. This is a true battle.

[5:29]  ⁹ tn Grk “the flow of her blood dried up.”

[5:29]  sn The woman was most likely suffering from a vaginal hemorrhage, in which case her bleeding would make her ritually unclean.

[12:10]  ¹⁰ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

[12:10]  sn The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The use of Ps 118:22-23 and the “stone imagery” as a reference to Christ and his suffering and exaltation is common in the NT (see also Matt 21:42; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; 1 Pet 2:6-8; cf. also Eph 2:20). The irony in the use of Ps 118:22-23 in Mark 12:10-11 is that in the OT, Israel was the one rejected (or perhaps her king) by the Gentiles, but in the NT it is Jesus who is rejected by Israel.
