Mark 1:45

Context
1:45 But as the man 1  went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesus 2  was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Still 3  they kept coming 4  to him from everywhere.

Mark 12:1

Context
The Parable of the Tenants

12:1 Then 5  he began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. 6  He put a fence around it, dug a pit for its winepress, and built a watchtower. Then 7  he leased it to tenant farmers 8  and went on a journey.

1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the man who was healed) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Grk “and”; καί (kai) often has a mildly contrastive force, as here.

4 tn The imperfect verb has been translated iteratively.

5 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

6 sn The vineyard is a figure for Israel in the OT (Isa 5:1-7). The nation and its leaders are the tenants, so the vineyard here may well refer to the promise that resides within the nation. The imagery is like that in Rom 11:11-24.

7 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

8 sn The leasing of land to tenant farmers was common in this period.
