Markus 1:37

1:37 When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”

Markus 6:40

6:40 So they reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties.

Markus 8:9

8:9 There were about four thousand ¹  who ate. ²  Then he dismissed them. ³ 

Markus 9:44

9:44 [[EMPTY]] ⁴ 

Markus 13:37

13:37 What I say to you I say to everyone: Stay alert!”

[8:9]  ¹ sn The parallel in Matt 15:32-39 notes that the four thousand were only men, a point not made explicit in Mark.

[8:9]  ² tn The words “who ate” are not in the Greek text but have been supplied for clarity.

[8:9]  ³ sn Mark 8:1-10. Many commentators, on the basis of similarities between this account of the feeding of the multitude (8:1-10) and that in 6:30-44, have argued that there is only one event referred to in both passages. While there are similarities in language and in the response of the disciples, there are also noticeable differences, including the different number present on each occasion (i.e., 5,000 in chap. 6 and 4,000 here). In the final analysis, the fact that Jesus refers to two distinct feedings in 8:18-20 settles the issue; this passage represents another very similar incident to that recorded in 6:30-44.

[9:44]  ⁴ tc Most later mss have 9:44 here and 9:46 after v. 45: “where their worm never dies and the fire is never quenched” (identical with v. 48). Verses 44 and 46 are present in A D Θ Ë¹³ Ï lat sy^p,h, but lacking in important Alexandrian mss and several others (א B C L W Δ Ψ 0274 ˹ 28 565 892 2427 pc co). This appears to be a scribal addition from v. 48 and is almost certainly not an original part of the Greek text of Mark. The present translation follows NA²⁷ in omitting the verse number, a procedure also followed by a number of other modern translations.
