Mark 6:25

6:25 Immediately she hurried back to the king and made her request: ¹  “I want the head of John the Baptist on a platter immediately.”

Mark 14:36

14:36 He said, “Abba, ²  Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup ³  away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

¹ tn Grk “she asked, saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) is redundant and has not been translated.

² tn The word means “Father” in Aramaic.

³ sn This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8-9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.
