Mark 4:16

4:16 These are the ones sown on rocky ground: As soon as they hear the word, they receive it with joy.

Mark 15:31

15:31 In the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law ¹  – were mocking him among themselves: ²  “He saved others, but he cannot save himself!

[15:31]  ¹ tn Or “with the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22. Only “chief priests” is in the nominative case; this sentence structure attempts to capture this emphasis.

[15:31]  ² tn Grk “Mocking him, the chief priests…said among themselves.”
