Markus 9:47

9:47 If your eye causes you to sin, tear it out! ¹  It is better to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye than to have ²  two eyes and be thrown into hell,

Markus 14:1

The Plot Against Jesus

14:1 Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law ³  were trying to find a way ⁴  to arrest Jesus ⁵  by stealth and kill him.

Markus 14:13

14:13 He sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar ⁶  of water will meet you. Follow him.

[9:47]  ¹ tn Grk “throw it out.”

[9:47]  ² tn Grk “than having.”

[14:1]  ³ tn Or “the chief priests and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

[14:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “were seeking how.”

[14:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:13]  ⁶ sn Since women usually carried these jars, it would have been no problem for the two disciples (Luke 22:8 states that they were Peter and John) to recognize the man Jesus was referring to.
