Mark 2:2

2:2 So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by ¹  the door, and he preached the word to them.

Mark 4:34

4:34 He did not speak to them without a parable. But privately he explained everything to his own disciples.

Mark 7:35

7:35 And immediately the man’s ²  ears were opened, his tongue loosened, and he spoke plainly.

Mark 8:32

8:32 He spoke openly about this. So ³  Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

¹ tn Some translations (e.g., NIV, NLT) take the preposition πρός (pro"), which indicates proximity, to mean “outside the door.” Others render it as “in front of the door” (TEV, CEV), and still others, “around the door” (NAB). There is some ambiguity inherent in the description here.

² tn Grk “his”; the referent (the man who had been a deaf mute) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate Peter’s rebuke is in response to Jesus’ teaching about the suffering of the Son of Man.
