Mark 8:13

1 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary and transition in the narrative.
2 tc The textual tradition here is quite complicated. Most later mss (A C Ë13 Ï syp,h) read “Gadarenes,” which is the better reading in Matt 8:28. Other mss (א2 L Δ Θ Ë1 28 33 565 579 700 892 1241 1424 al sys bo) have “Gergesenes.” Others (א* B D latt sa) have “Gerasenes,” which is the reading followed in the translation here and in Luke 8:26. The difference between Matthew and Mark (which is parallel to Luke) may well have to do with uses of variant regional terms.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
