Markus 10:35

The Request of James and John

10:35 Then ⁴  James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”

[5:35]  ¹ sn See the note on synagogue rulers in 5:22.

[6:8]  ² sn Neither Matt 10:9-10 nor Luke 9:3 allow for a staff. It might be that Matthew and Luke mean not taking an extra staff, or that the expression is merely rhetorical for “traveling light,” which has been rendered in two slightly different ways.

[6:8]  ³ tn Or “no traveler’s bag”; or possibly “no beggar’s bag” (L&N 6.145; BDAG 811 s.v. πήρα).

[10:35]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
