Context8:51 Now when he came to the house, Jesus 1 did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, 2 and James, and the child’s father and mother.

[8:51] 1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:51] 2 tn Grk “and John,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
[5:40] 3 tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.
[5:40] 4 tn Or “threw them all outside.” The verb used, ἐκβάλλω (ekballw), almost always has the connotation of force in Mark.
