Markus 4:24

4:24 And he said to them, “Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive, ¹  and more will be added to you.

Markus 9:41

9:41 For I tell you the truth, ²  whoever gives you a cup of water because ³  you bear Christ’s ⁴  name will never lose his reward.

Markus 13:19

13:19 For in those days there will be suffering ⁵  unlike anything that has happened ⁶  from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, or ever will happen.

[4:24]  ¹ tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”

[9:41]  ² tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[9:41]  ³ tn Grk “in [the] name that of Christ you are.”

[9:41]  ⁴ tn Or “bear the Messiah’s”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[9:41]  sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.

[13:19]  ⁵ tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

[13:19]  ⁶ sn Suffering unlike anything that has happened. Some refer this event to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. While the events of a.d. 70 may reflect somewhat the comments Jesus makes here, the reference to the scope and severity of this judgment strongly suggest that much more is in view. Most likely Jesus is referring to the great end-time judgment on Jerusalem in the great tribulation.
