Mark 2:3

2:3 Some people ¹  came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four of them. ² 

Mark 6:2

6:2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. ³  Many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did he get these ideas? ⁴  And what is this wisdom that has been given to him? What are these miracles that are done through his hands?

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “they”; the referent (some unnamed people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:3]  ² tn The redundancy in this verse is characteristic of the author’s rougher style.

[6:2]  ³ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21. Jesus undoubtedly took the opportunity on this occasion to speak about his person and mission, and the relation of both to OT fulfillment.

[6:2]  ⁴ tn Or “this teaching”; Grk “these things.” The response of the people centers upon the content of Jesus’ teaching, so the phrase “these ideas” was supplied in the text to make this clear.
