[15:11]  ¹ tn Grk “to have him release for them.”

[3:9]  ² tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:14]  ³ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[9:14]  ⁴ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[4:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the response to Jesus’ request.

[4:36]  ⁶ tn It is possible that this prepositional phrase modifies “as he was,” not “they took him along.” The meaning would then be “they took him along in the boat in which he was already sitting” (see 4:1).

[6:34]  ⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:34]  ⁷ tn Grk “came out [of the boat],” with the reference to the boat understood.

[6:34]  ⁸ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate this action is the result of Jesus’ compassion on the crowd in the narrative.

[6:45]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:12]  ¹⁰ sn The point of the parable in Mark 12:1-12 is that the leaders of the nation have been rejected by God and the vineyard (v. 9, referring to the nation and its privileged status) will be taken from them and given to others (an allusion to the Gentiles).

[2:4]  ⁹ sn A house in 1st century Palestine would have had a flat roof with stairs or a ladder going up. This access was often from the outside of the house.

[2:4]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:4]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:34]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
