Mark 6:11

Context
6:11 If a place will not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off 1  your feet as a testimony against them.”

Mark 9:7

Context
9:7 Then 2  a cloud 3  overshadowed them, 4  and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my one dear Son. 5  Listen to him!” 6 

1 sn To shake the dust off represented shaking off the uncleanness from one’s feet; see Luke 10:11; Acts 13:51; 18:6. It was a sign of rejection.

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

3 sn This cloud is the cloud of God’s presence and the voice is his as well.

4 tn Grk “And there came a cloud, surrounding them.”

5 tn Grk “my beloved Son,” or “my Son, the beloved [one].” The force of ἀγαπητός (agaphtos) is often “pertaining to one who is the only one of his or her class, but at the same time is particularly loved and cherished” (L&N 58.53; cf. also BDAG 7 s.v. 1).

6 sn The expression listen to him comes from Deut 18:15 and makes two points: 1) Jesus is a prophet like Moses, a leader-prophet, and 2) they have much yet to learn from him.
