Mark 3:22

3:22 The experts in the law ¹  who came down from Jerusalem ²  said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” ³  and, “By the ruler ⁴  of demons he casts out demons.”

Mark 6:8

6:8 He instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff ⁵  – no bread, no bag, ⁶  no money in their belts –

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

² map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

³ tn Grk “He has Beelzebul.”

⁴ tn Or “prince.”

⁵ sn Neither Matt 10:9-10 nor Luke 9:3 allow for a staff. It might be that Matthew and Luke mean not taking an extra staff, or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light,” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

⁶ tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).
