Mark 6:52

6:52 because they did not understand about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.

Mark 9:6

9:6 (For they were afraid, and he did not know what to say.) ² 

Mark 13:31

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. ³ 

[3:24]  ¹ sn The three conditional statements in vv. 24-26 express the logical result of the assumption that Jesus heals by Satan’s power, expressed by the religious leaders. The point is clear: If the leaders are correct, then Satan’s kingdom will not stand, so the suggestion makes no sense. Satan would not seek to heal.

[9:6]  ² sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[13:31]  ³ 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.
