Mark 5:4

5:4 For his hands and feet had often been bound with chains and shackles, ¹  but ²  he had torn the chains apart and broken the shackles in pieces. No one was strong enough to subdue him.

Mark 14:37

14:37 Then ³  he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour?

Mark 2:17

2:17 When Jesus heard this he said to them, “Those who are healthy don’t need a physician, but those who are sick do. ⁴  I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Mark 9:18

9:18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but ⁵  they were not able to do so.” ⁶ 

[5:4]  ¹ tn Grk “he had often been bound with chains and shackles.” “Shackles” could also be translated “fetters”; they were chains for the feet.

[5:4]  ² tn Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[14:37]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[2:17]  ⁵ sn Jesus’ point is that he associates with those who are sick because they have the need and will respond to the offer of help. A person who is healthy (or who thinks mistakenly that he is) will not seek treatment.

[9:18]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[9:18]  ⁸ tn The words “to do so” are not in the Greek text, but have been supplied for clarity and stylistic reasons.
