Mark 11:15

Cleansing the Temple

11:15 Then ⁸  they came to Jerusalem. ⁹  Jesus ¹⁰  entered the temple area ¹¹  and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in the temple courts. ¹²  He turned over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves,

[9:45]  ¹ tn Grk “than having.”

[6:33]  ² tn Grk “ran together on foot.” The idea of συντρέχω (suntrecw) is “to come together quickly to form a crowd” (L&N 15.133).

[6:33]  ⁴ tc The translation here follows the reading προῆλθον (prohlqon, “they preceded”), found in א B [phone] pc lat co. Some mss (D 28 33 700 pc) read συνῆλθον (sunhlqon, “arrived there with them”), while the majority of mss, most of them late (Ì^84vid [A ˹³] Ï sy^h), conflate the two readings (προῆλθον αὐτοὺς καὶ συνῆλθον πρὸς αὐτόν, “they preceded them and came together to him”). The reading adopted here thus has better external credentials than the variants. As well, it is the harder reading internally, being changed “by copyists who thought it unlikely that the crowd on the land could have outstripped the boat” (TCGNT 78).

[9:14]  ³ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

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