Romans 9:3

9:3 For I could wish ¹  that I myself were accursed – cut off from Christ – for the sake of my people, ²  my fellow countrymen, ³ 

Mark 15:27-28

15:27 And they crucified two outlaws with him, one on his right and one on his left. 15:28 [[EMPTY]] ⁴ 

John 9:24

9:24 Then they summoned ⁵  the man who used to be blind ⁶  a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. ⁷  We know that this man ⁸  is a sinner.”

¹ tn Or “For I would pray.” The implied condition is “if this could save my fellow Jews.”

² tn Grk “brothers.” See BDAG 18-19 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.b.

³ tn Grk “my kinsmen according to the flesh.”

⁴ tc Most later mss add 15:28 “And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘He was counted with the lawless ones.’” Verse 28 is included in L Θ 083 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat, but is lacking in important Alexandrian and Western mss and some others (א A B C D Ψ pc). The addition of the verse with its quotation from Isa 53:12 probably represents a scribal assimilation from Luke 22:37. It was almost certainly not an original part of Mark’s Gospel. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.

⁵ tn Grk “they called.”

⁶ tn Grk “who was blind.”

⁷ tn Grk “Give glory to God” (an idiomatic formula used in placing someone under oath to tell the truth).

⁸ tn The phrase “this man” is a reference to Jesus.
