Mark 10:49

Mark 13:9

Persecution of Disciples

13:9 “You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over ³  to councils ⁴  and beaten in the synagogues. ⁵  You will stand before governors and kings ⁶  because of me, as a witness to them.

Mark 15:36

15:36 Then someone ran, filled a sponge with sour wine, ⁷  put it on a stick, ⁸  and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to take him down!”

[5:34]  ¹ tn Or “has delivered you”; Grk “has saved you.” This should not be understood as an expression for full salvation in the immediate context; it refers only to the woman’s healing.

[10:49]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[13:9]  ³ tn Grk “They will hand you over.” “They” is an indefinite plural, referring to people in general. The parallel in Matt 10:17 makes this explicit.

[13:9]  ⁴ sn Councils in this context refers to local judicial bodies attached to the Jewish synagogue. This group would be responsible for meting out justice and discipline within the Jewish community.

[13:9]  ⁵ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

[13:9]  ⁶ sn These statements look at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of councils and synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to governors and kings suggests. Some fulfillment of Jewish persecution can be seen in Acts.

[15:36]  ⁴ sn Sour wine refers to cheap wine that was called in Latin posca, a cheap vinegar wine diluted heavily with water. It was the drink of slaves and soldiers, and was probably there for the soldiers who had performed the crucifixion.

[15:36]  ⁵ tn Grk “a reed.”
