Mark 3:30

3:30 (because they said, “He has an unclean spirit” ¹ ).

Mark 4:23

4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, he had better listen!” ² 

Mark 8:16

8:16 So they began to discuss with one another about having no bread. ³ 

[3:30]  ¹ sn Unclean spirit refers to an evil spirit.

[4:23]  ² tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:9; Luke 8:8, 14:35).

[8:16]  ³ tn Grk “And they were discussing with one another that they had no bread.”
