Mark 4:20

4:20 But ¹  these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred.”

Mark 13:11

13:11 When they arrest you and hand you over for trial, do not worry about what to speak. But say whatever is given you at that time, ²  for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Mark 13:19

13:19 For in those days there will be suffering ³  unlike anything that has happened ⁴  from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, or ever will happen.

Mark 14:25

14:25 I tell you the truth, ⁵  I will no longer drink of the fruit ⁶  of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

[4:20]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[13:11]  ² tn Grk “in that hour.”

[13:19]  ³ tn Traditionally, “tribulation.”

[13:19]  ⁴ sn Suffering unlike anything that has happened. Some refer this event to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. While the events of a.d. 70 may reflect somewhat the comments Jesus makes here, the reference to the scope and severity of this judgment strongly suggest that much more is in view. Most likely Jesus is referring to the great end-time judgment on Jerusalem in the great tribulation.

[14:25]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[14:25]  ⁵ tn Grk “the produce” (“the produce of the vine” is a figurative expression for wine).
