Mark 12:10

12:10 Have you not read this scripture:

‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. ¹ 

Mark 16:3

16:3 They had been asking each other, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?”

Mark 13:2

13:2 Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. ²  All will be torn down!” ³ 

Mark 15:46

15:46 After Joseph ⁴  bought a linen cloth ⁵  and took down the body, he wrapped it in the linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of the rock. ⁶  Then ⁷  he rolled a stone across the entrance ⁸  of the tomb.

¹ tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

² sn With the statement not one stone will be left on another Jesus predicted the total destruction of the temple, something that did occur in a.d. 70.

³ tn Grk “not one stone will be left here on another which will not be thrown down.”

³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Joseph of Arimathea) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn The term σινδών (sindwn) can refer to a linen cloth used either for clothing or for burial.

⁵ tn That is, cut or carved into an outcropping of natural rock, resulting in a cave-like structure (see L&N 19.25).

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁷ tn Or “to the door,” “against the door.”
