Markus 1:38

1:38 He replied, ¹  “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do.” ²

Markus 15:32

15:32 Let the Christ, ⁵  the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with him also spoke abusively to him. ⁶ 

[1:38]  ¹ tn Grk “And he said to them.”

[1:38]  ² tn Grk “Because for this purpose I have come forth.”

[3:9]  ³ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowd) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “be,” that is, “remain.” In this context that would involve accompanying Jesus as he went on his way.

[15:32]  ⁵ tn Or “the Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[15:32]  sn See the note on Christ in 8:29.

[15:32]  ⁶ sn Mark’s wording suggests that both of the criminals spoke abusively to him. If so, one of them quickly changed his attitude toward Jesus (see Luke 23:40-43).
