Mark 2:23

Context
Lord of the Sabbath

2:23 Jesus 1  was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples began to pick some heads of wheat 2  as they made their way.

Mark 4:8

Context
4:8 But 3  other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.”

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

2 tn Or “heads of grain.” While the generic term στάχυς (stacus) can refer to the cluster of seeds at the top of grain such as barley or wheat, in the NT the term is restricted to wheat (L&N 3.40; BDAG 941 s.v. 1).

3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in the final stage of the parable.
