Mark 3:33

3:33 He answered them and said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” ¹ 

Mark 11:22

11:22 Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God.

Mark 14:45

14:45 When Judas ²  arrived, he went up to Jesus ³  immediately and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed ⁴  him.

¹ tn Grk “Who is my mother and my brothers?” The use of the singular verb ἐστιν (estin) here singles out Mary above Jesus’ brothers, giving her special prominence (see ExSyn 401-2). This is slightly unnatural in English since the predicate nominative is plural, though, so a plural verb was used in the translation.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ sn Judas’ act of betrayal when he kissed Jesus is especially sinister when it is realized that it was common in the culture of the times for a disciple to kiss his master when greeting him.
