Discovery BoxMark 4:20 
Context4:20 But 1 these are the ones sown on good soil: They hear the word and receive it and bear fruit, one thirty times as much, one sixty, and one a hundred.”
Mark 6:37
Context6:37 But he answered them, 2 “You 3 give them something to eat.” And they said, “Should we go and buy bread for two hundred silver coins 4 and give it to them to eat?”
Mark 10:30
Context10:30 who will not receive in this age 5 a hundred times as much – homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, fields, all with persecutions 6 – and in the age to come, eternal life. 7
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
2 tn Grk “answering, he said to them.” The participle ἀποκριθείς (apokriqeis) is redundant, but the syntax of the sentence has been changed for clarity.
3 tn Here the pronoun ὑμεῖς (Jumeis) is used, making “you” in the translation emphatic.
4 sn The silver coin referred to here is the denarius. A denarius, inscribed with a picture of Tiberius Caesar, was worth approximately one day’s wage for a laborer. Two hundred denarii was thus approximately equal to eight months’ wages. The disciples did not have the resources in their possession to feed the large crowd, so Jesus’ request is his way of causing them to trust him as part of their growth in discipleship.
5 tn Grk “this time” (καιρός, kairos), but for stylistic reasons this has been translated “this age” here.
6 tn Grk “with persecutions.” The “all” has been supplied to clarify that the prepositional phrase belongs not just to the “fields.”
7 sn Note that Mark (see also Matt 19:29; Luke 10:25, 18:30) portrays eternal life as something one receives in the age to come, unlike John, who emphasizes the possibility of receiving eternal life in the present (John 5:24).
