Markus 4:8

4:8 But ¹  other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.”

Markus 4:27

4:27 He goes to sleep and gets up, night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.

Markus 12:37

12:37 If David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” ²  And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

[4:8]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the final stage of the parable.

[12:37]  ² tn Grk “David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ So how is he his son?” The conditional nuance, implicit in Greek, has been made explicit in the translation (cf. Matt 22:45).
