The Parable of the Fig Tree

13:28 “Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

[12:44]  ¹ tn Grk “out of what abounded to them.”

[12:44]  ² sn The contrast between this passage, 12:41-44, and what has come before in 11:27-12:40 is remarkable. The woman is set in stark contrast to the religious leaders. She was a poor widow, they were rich. She was uneducated in the law, they were well educated in the law. She was a woman, they were men. But whereas they evidenced no faith and actually stole money from God and men (cf. 11:17), she evidenced great faith and gave out of her extreme poverty everything she had.

[1:30]  ³ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[1:30]  ⁴ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:12]  ⁵ sn It was not uncommon in Jesus’ day for a Jewish man to divorce his wife, but it was extremely rare for a wife to initiate such an action against her husband, since among many things it would have probably left her destitute and without financial support. Mark’s inclusion of the statement And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery (v. 12) reflects more the problem of the predominantly Gentile church in Rome to which he was writing. As such it may be an interpretive and parenthetical comment by the author rather than part of the saying by Jesus, which would stop at the end of v. 11. As such it should then be placed in parentheses. Further NT passages that deal with the issue of divorce and remarriage are Matt 5:31-32; 19:1-12; Luke 16:18; 1 Cor 7.

[5:29]  ⁷ tn Grk “the flow of her blood dried up.”

[6:24]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[6:24]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “She said”; the referent (the girl’s mother) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:24]  ¹¹ tn While Matthew and Luke consistently use the noun βαπτίστης (baptisths, “the Baptist”) to refer to John, as a kind of a title, Mark employs the substantival participle ὁ βαπτίζων (Jo baptizwn, “the one who baptizes, the baptizer”) to describe him (though twice he does use the noun [Mark 6:25; 8:28]).

[7:25]  ¹¹ sn Unclean spirit refers to an evil spirit.

[7:26]  ¹³ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[13:24]  ¹⁵ tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

[14:9]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”
