Markus 8:14

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

8:14 Now ¹  they had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

Markus 12:39

12:39 and the best seats in the synagogues ²  and the places of honor at banquets.

Markus 15:23

15:23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, ³  but he did not take it.

[8:14]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[12:39]  ² sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

[15:23]  ³ sn It is difficult to say for certain who gave Jesus this drink of wine mixed with myrrh (e.g., the executioner, or perhaps women from Jerusalem). In any case, whoever gave it to him most likely did so in order to relieve his pain, but Jesus was unwilling to take it.
