Mark 6:24

6:24 So ²  she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” Her mother ³  said, “The head of John the baptizer.” ⁴ 

¹ tn Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

³ tn Grk “She said”; the referent (the girl’s mother) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
