Mark 15:4

Context
15:4 So Pilate asked him again, 7  “Have you nothing to say? See how many charges they are bringing against you!”

1 sn The term translated watched…closely is emotive, since it carries negative connotations. It means they were watching him out of the corner of their eye or spying on him.

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

3 sn The background for this is the view that only if life was endangered should one attempt to heal on the Sabbath (see the Mishnah, m. Shabbat 6.3; 12.1; 18.3; 19.2; m. Yoma 8.6).

4 tn Grk “they.”

5 sn An allusion to Dan 7:13. Here is Jesus returning with full judging authority.

6 tn The verb γινώσκετε (ginwskete, “know”) can be parsed as either present indicative or present imperative. In this context the imperative fits better, since the movement is from analogy (trees and seasons) to the future (the signs of the coming of the kingdom) and since the emphasis is on preparation for this event.

7 tn Grk “Pilate asked him again, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.
