Mark 14:43

Betrayal and Arrest

14:43 Right away, while Jesus ⁸  was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. ⁹  With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law ¹⁰  and elders.

[3:5]  ¹ tn The aorist participle περιβλεψάμενος (peribleyameno") has been translated as antecedent (prior) to the action of the main verb. It could also be translated as contemporaneous (“Looking around…he said”).

[3:5]  ² tn This term is a collective singular in the Greek text.

[3:5]  ³ sn The passive was restored points to healing by God. Now the question became: Would God exercise his power through Jesus, if what Jesus was doing were wrong? Note also Jesus’ “labor.” He simply spoke and it was so.

[5:40]  ⁴ tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.

[5:40]  ⁵ tn Or “threw them all outside.” The verb used, ἐκβάλλω (ekballw), almost always has the connotation of force in Mark.

[5:40]  ⁶ tn Grk “those with him.”

[5:40]  ⁷ tn Grk “into where the child was.”

[14:43]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:43]  ⁸ tn Or “approached.” This is a different verb than the one translated “arrived” in Matt 26:47 and below in v. 45, although in this context the meanings probably overlap.

[14:43]  ⁹ tn Or “from the chief priests, scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
