Markus 1:45

1:45 But as the man ¹  went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus ²  was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still ³  they kept coming ⁴  to him from everywhere.

6:22 When his daughter Herodias ⁵  came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you.”

Markus 8:31

First Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

8:31 Then ⁶  Jesus ⁷  began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer ⁸  many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, ⁹  and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Markus 12:33

12:33 And to love him with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your strength ¹⁰  and to love your neighbor as yourself ¹¹  is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

[1:45]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:45]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:45]  ³ tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) often has a mildly contrastive force, as here.

[1:45]  ⁴ tn The imperfect verb has been translated iteratively.

[6:22]  ⁵ tc Behind “his daughter Herodias” is a most difficult textual problem. The reading adopted in the translation, τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ ῾Ηρῳδιάδος (th" qugatro" aujtou Jerwdiado"), is supported by א B D L Δ 565 pc; it is also the most difficult reading internally since it describes Herodias as Herod’s daughter. Other readings are less awkward, but they do not have adequate external support. The reading τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς τῆς ῾Ηρῳδιάδος (th" qugatro" auth" th" &erwdiado", “the daughter of Herodias herself”) is supported by A C (W) Θ Ë¹³ 33 Ï, but this is also grammatically awkward. The easiest reading, τῆς θυγατρὸς τῆς ῾Ηρῳδιάδος (“the daughter of Herodias”) is supported by ˹ pc, but this reading probably arose from an accidental omission of αὐτῆς in the previous reading. The reading τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ ῾Ηρῳδιάδος, despite its historical difficulties, is most likely original due to external attestation and the fact that it most likely gave rise to the other readings as scribes sought to correct it.

[8:31]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[8:31]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:31]  ⁸ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.
