3:1 Then 1 Jesus 2 entered the synagogue 3 again, and a man was there who had a withered 4 hand.

1 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 sn See the note on synagogue in 1:21.

5 tn The translation “had better listen!” captures the force of the third person imperative more effectively than the traditional “let him hear,” which sounds more like a permissive than an imperative to the modern English reader. This was Jesus’ common expression to listen and heed carefully (cf. Matt 11:15; 13:9, 43; Mark 4:23; Luke 8:8, 14:35).
6 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

8 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.
9 tn Grk “a flow of blood.”
10 sn This story of the woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years is recounted in the middle of the story about Jairus’ daughter. Mark’s account (as is often the case) is longer and more detailed than the parallel accounts in Matt 9:18-26 and Luke 8:40-56. Mark’s fuller account may be intended to show that the healing of the woman was an anticipation of the healing of the little girl.
11 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
12 sn Gennesaret was a fertile plain south of Capernaum (see also Matt 14:34). This name was also sometimes used for the Sea of Galilee (Luke 5:1).
13 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the people mentioned in v. 5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
14 tn Grk “took a wife” (an idiom for marrying a woman).
