Jeremiah 31:32

31:32 It will not be like the old ¹  covenant that I made with their ancestors ²  when I delivered them ³  from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,” ⁴  says the Lord. ⁵ 

Mark 8:23

8:23 He took the blind man by the hand and brought him outside of the village. Then ⁶  he spit on his eyes, placed his hands on his eyes ⁷  and asked, “Do you see anything?”

Mark 9:27

9:27 But Jesus gently took his hand and raised him to his feet, and he stood up.

¹ tn The word “old” is not in the text but is implicit in the use of the word “new.” It is supplied in the translation for greater clarity.

² tn Heb “fathers.”

³ tn Heb “when I took them by the hand and led them out.”

⁴ tn Or “I was their master.” See the study note on 3:14.

⁵ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

⁶ tn Grk “village, and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁷ tn Grk “on him,” but the word πάλιν in v. 25 implies that Jesus touched the man’s eyes at this point.
