Mark 11:30

11:30 John’s baptism – was it from heaven or from people? ¹  Answer me.”

Mark 13:31

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ² 

[11:30]  ¹ tn The plural Greek term ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) is probably used here (and in v. 32) in a generic sense, referring to both men and women (cf. NAB, NRSV, “of human origin”; TEV, “from human beings”; NLT, “merely human”).

[13:31]  ² sn The words that Jesus predicts here will never pass away. They are more stable and lasting than creation itself! For this kind of image, see Isa 40:8; 55:10-11.
