9:19 He answered them, ¹  “You ²  unbelieving ³  generation! How much longer ⁴  must I be with you? How much longer must I endure ⁵  you? ⁶  Bring him to me.”

Mark 9:41

9:41 For I tell you the truth, ⁷  whoever gives you a cup of water because ⁸  you bear Christ’s ⁹  name will never lose his reward.

11:29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

Mark 13:9

Persecution of Disciples

13:9 “You must watch out for yourselves. You will be handed over ¹⁰  to councils ¹¹  and beaten in the synagogues. ¹²  You will stand before governors and kings ¹³  because of me, as a witness to them.

Mark 14:49

14:49 Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, yet ¹⁴  you did not arrest me. But this has happened so that ¹⁵  the scriptures would be fulfilled.”

Mark 16:7

16:7 But go, tell his disciples, even Peter, that he is going ahead of you into Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you.”

[9:19]  ¹ tn Grk “And answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the phrasing of the sentence was modified slightly to make it clearer in English.

[9:19]  ² tn Grk “O.” The marker of direct address, ὦ (w), is functionally equivalent to a vocative and is represented in the translation by “you.”

[9:19]  ³ tn Or “faithless.”

[9:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “how long.”

[9:19]  ⁵ tn Or “put up with.” See Num 11:12; Isa 46:4.

[9:19]  ⁶ sn The pronouns you…you are plural, indicating that Jesus is speaking to a group rather than an individual.

[9:41]  ⁷ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[9:41]  ⁸ tn Grk “in [the] name that of Christ you are.”

[9:41]  ⁹ tn Or “bear the Messiah’s”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[13:9]  ¹³ 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]  ¹⁴ 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]  ¹⁵ sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

[13:9]  ¹⁶ 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.

[14:49]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) is elastic enough to be used contrastively on occasion, as here.

[14:49]  ²⁰ tn Grk “But so that”; the verb “has happened” is implied.
