Mark 9:14

The Disciples’ Failure to Heal

9:14 When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and experts in the law ¹  arguing with them.

Mark 6:34

6:34 As Jesus ²  came ashore ³  he saw the large crowd and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So ⁴  he taught them many things.

[9:14]  ¹ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[6:34]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:34]  ³ tn Grk “came out [of the boat],” with the reference to the boat understood.

[6:34]  ⁴ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “So” to indicate this action is the result of Jesus’ compassion on the crowd in the narrative.
