Mark 5:22

5:22 Then ¹  one of the synagogue rulers, ²  named Jairus, ³  came up, and when he saw Jesus, ⁴  he fell at his feet.

Mark 7:25

7:25 Instead, a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit ⁵  immediately heard about him and came and fell at his feet.

Mark 9:45

9:45 If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It is better to enter life lame than to have ⁶  two feet and be thrown into hell.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn That is, “an official in charge of the synagogue”; ἀρχισυνάγωγος (arcisunagwgo") refers to the “president of a synagogue” (so BDAG 139 s.v. and L&N 53.93; cf. Luke 8:41).

³ tc Codex Bezae (D) and some Itala mss omit the words “named Jairus.” The evidence for the inclusion of the phrase is extremely strong, however. The witnesses in behalf of ὀνόματι ᾿Ιάϊρος (onomati Iairos) include {Ì⁴⁵ א A B C L Ï lat sy co}. The best explanation is that the phrase was accidentally dropped during the transmission of one strand of the Western text.

⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ sn Unclean spirit refers to an evil spirit.

⁹ tn Grk “than having.”
