Mark 11:18

11:18 The chief priests and the experts in the law ¹  heard it and they considered how they could assassinate ²  him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed by his teaching.

Mark 16:6

16:6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. ³  He has been raised! ⁴  He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.

¹ tn Or “The chief priests and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

² tn Grk “how they could destroy him.”

³ sn See the note on Crucify in 15:13.

⁴ tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.
