[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.

[4:22]  ⁵ tn Or “disclosed.”

[5:42]  ⁶ tn The Greek word εὐθύς (euqus, often translated “immediately” or “right away”) has not been translated here. It sometimes occurs with a weakened, inferential use (BDAG 406 s.v. 2), not contributing significantly to the flow of the narrative. For further discussion, see R. J. Decker, Temporal Deixis of the Greek Verb in the Gospel of Mark with Reference to Verbal Aspect (SBG 10), 73-77.

[14:4]  ⁷ tn The word “expensive” is not in the Greek text but has been included to suggest a connection to the lengthy phrase “costly aromatic oil from pure nard” occurring earlier in v. 3. The author of Mark shortened this long phrase to just one word in Greek when repeated here, and the phrase “expensive ointment” used in the translation is intended as an abbreviated paraphrase.

[14:66]  ⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[14:66]  ⁹ tn The Greek term here is παιδίσκη (paidiskh), referring to a slave girl or slave woman.
