Markus 4:30

4:30 He also asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use to present it?

Markus 6:26

6:26 Although it grieved the king deeply, ¹  he did not want to reject her request because of his oath and his guests.

Markus 10:11

10:11 So ²  he told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

Markus 12:21

12:21 The second married her and died without any children, and likewise the third.

Markus 12:23

12:23 In the resurrection, when they rise again, ³  whose wife will she be? For all seven had married her.” ⁴ 

Markus 14:6

14:6 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a good service for me.

[6:26]  ¹ tn Grk “and being deeply grieved, the king did not want.”

[10:11]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate that Jesus’ statement is in response to the disciples’ question (v. 10).

[12:23]  ³ tc The words “when they rise again” are missing from several important witnesses (א B C D L W Δ Ψ 33 579 892 2427 pc c r¹ k sy^p co). They are included in A Θ Ë^1,(13) Ï lat sy^s,h. The strong external pedigree of the shorter reading gives one pause. Nevertheless, the Alexandrian and other mss most likely dropped the words from the text either to conform the wording to the parallel in Matt 22:28 or because “when they rise again” was redundant. But the inclusion of these words is thoroughly compatible with Mark’s usually pleonastic style (see TCGNT 93), and therefore most probably authentic to Mark’s Gospel.

[12:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “For the seven had her as wife.”
