[6:48]  1 tn This verse is one complete sentence in the Greek text, but it has been broken into two sentences in English for clarity.

[6:48]  2 tn Grk “about the fourth watch of the night,” between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

[6:48]  3 tn Or “on the lake.”

[6:48]  4 tn The καί (kai) was translated so as to introduce a subordinate clause, i.e., with the use of “for.” See BDF §442.9.

[6:48]  5 sn The statement he wanted to pass by them is somewhat difficult to understand. There are at least two common interpretations: (1) it refers to the perspective of the disciples, that is, from their point of view it seemed that Jesus wanted to pass by them; or (2) it refers to a theophany and uses the language of the Greek Old Testament (LXX) when God “passed by” Moses at Sinai (cf. Exod 33:19, 22). According to the latter alternative, Jesus is “passing by” the disciples during their struggle, in order to assure them of his presence with them. See W L. Lane, Mark (NICNT), 236.

[8:33]  6 tn Grk “people’s.”

[9:25]  11 tn Or “commanded” (often with the implication of a threat, L&N 33.331).

[9:25]  12 sn Unclean spirit refers to an evil spirit.

[10:14]  16 sn The kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Children are a picture of those whose simple trust illustrates what faith is all about. The remark illustrates how everyone is important to God, even those whom others regard as insignificant.

[11:13]  21 tn Grk “anything.”
