Mark 2:2

2:2 So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by ¹  the door, and he preached the word to them.

Mark 5:35

5:35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue ruler’s ²  house saying, “Your daughter has died. Why trouble the teacher any longer?”

¹ tn Some translations (e.g., NIV, NLT) take the preposition πρός (pro"), which indicates proximity, to mean “outside the door.” Others render it as “in front of the door” (TEV, CEV), and still others, “around the door” (NAB). There is some ambiguity inherent in the description here.

² sn See the note on synagogue rulers in 5:22.
