[5:10]  ¹ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:27]  ² tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[6:27]  ³ tn Grk “his”; the referent (John the Baptist) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ³ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ⁴ tc Codex Bezae (D) replaces “Do not even go into the village” with “Go to your house, and do not tell anyone, not even in the village.” Other mss with some minor variations (Θ Ë¹³ 28 565 2542 pc) expand on this prohibition to read “Go to your house, and if you go into the village, do not tell anyone.” There are several other variants here as well. While these expansions are not part of Mark’s original text, they do accurately reflect the sense of Jesus’ prohibition.

[12:4]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the tenants’ mistreatment of the first slave.
