1 tn Grk “and all the crowd.” The clause in this phrase, although coordinate in terms of grammar, is logically subordinate to the previous clause.
2 tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.
3 tn Or “threw them all outside.” The verb used, ἐκβάλλω (ekballw), almost always has the connotation of force in Mark.
4 tn Grk “those with him.”
5 tn Grk “into where the child was.”
6 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
7 tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.
8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
9 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
10 sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis, since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.
11 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
12 tn The imperfect ἐδίδασκεν (edidasken) is here taken ingressively.
13 sn A quotation from Isa 56:7.
14 tn Or “a hideout” (see L&N 1.57).
15 sn A quotation from Jer 7:11. The meaning of Jesus’ statement about making the temple courts a den of robbers probably operates here at two levels. Not only were the religious leaders robbing the people financially, but because of this they had also robbed them spiritually by stealing from them the opportunity to come to know God genuinely. It is possible that these merchants had recently been moved to this location for convenience.
