Mark — Footnotes

🔗Chapter 1

1:12 — Verses 12-13 are not included. The reconstructed baseline gospel text (*Ev) lacks the temptation in any form; John's opening day-chain also leaves no forty-day interval. See Variant Exceptions.

1:14 — The phrase "after John was delivered up" and verses 16-20 are not included under a source-history decision that treats John's chronology as controlling here. See Variant Exceptions and The Calling of the Disciples.

1:41 — Most manuscripts read "moved with compassion" (σπλαγχνισθείς); CT is almost certain (Level B) that this is original. The UPDV follows a minority reading, ὀργισθείς, attested in Codex Bezae, early Latin, and early Syriac commentary tradition. The rendering "deeply moved" reflects the broader range of the underlying Aramaic. See Variant Exceptions for more details.

🔗Chapter 3

3:14 — Some manuscripts add whom he also named apostles. CT omits the phrase.

3:16 — Some manuscripts add And he appointed the twelve before this verse. CT omits the clause.

3:32 — Some manuscripts read your brothers and your sisters. CT omits and your sisters.

🔗Chapter 4

4:29 — [ready to] deliver means when it is 'ripe'.

🔗Chapter 5

5:9 — For meaning of Legion, see footnote at Matthew 27:15.

🔗Chapter 6

6:3 — the son of the carpenter and Mary: this follows some Greek manuscripts which read the verse this way. CT reads: 'the carpenter, the son of Mary'.

6:17 — Verses 17-29 are not included. This is a source-composition reconstruction, not a claim that the unit is directly omitted in surviving Greek or versional witnesses. See Variant Exceptions.

6:37 — 200 denarii. A denarius was a Roman coin worth about one day's wages.

6:47 — in the middle of the sea does not necessarily mean it was exactly in the middle, but that it was 'a far distance out in the sea'.

🔗Chapter 7

7:15 — CT is certain (Level A) that verse 16 is not part of the original text: If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.

7:19 — UPDV follows the Syriac Sinaiticus here, which is literally: "goes into the belly, and is cast outside, and all food is made clean." This reading describes the process of digestive elimination — what enters the body goes into the belly, passes through, and what comes out does not make one ritually unclean. See Variant Exceptions for details.

🔗Chapter 9

9:43 — CT is certain (Level A) that verse 44 is not part of the original text: where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

9:45 — CT is certain (Level A) that verse 46 is not part of the original text: where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

🔗Chapter 11

11:15 — Verses 15-19 are not included under the source-history decision about the Synoptic placement of the temple action. This is not a claim that the unit is directly omitted in surviving Greek or versional witnesses. See Variant Exceptions.

11:25 — CT is nearly certain (Level B) that verse 26 is not part of the original text: But if you+ do not forgive, neither will your+ Father who is in heaven forgive your+ trespasses.

🔗Chapter 12

12:15 — A denarius was a Roman coin worth about one day's wages. It contained about 1/8 of a troy ounce of silver.

12:42 — The lepta was the smallest copper coin, worth about 1/128 of a day's wages. The quadrans was the second smallest, worth about 1/64 of a day's wages.

🔗Chapter 13

13:14 — detestable thing, traditionally 'abomination'

🔗Chapter 14

14:5 — 300 denarii. A denarius was a Roman coin worth about one day's wages.

14:12 — Verses 12-16 are not included. This is a source-composition reconstruction, not a claim that the unit is directly omitted in surviving Greek or versional witnesses. See Variant Exceptions.

14:27 — Verse 28 is excluded as a secondary insertion. See Variant Exceptions.

14:54 — The formal Sanhedrin night trial (14:55-65) has been removed as a Markan composition elaborated on the Roman trial. The remaining text reflects the simpler pattern found in John, where only an informal questioning occurs (18:13-24). See Gospel Source-Criticism.

15:1 — The "whole Sanhedrin" consultation language has been removed. See Gospel Source-Criticism.

🔗Chapter 15

15:12 — What then shall I do. Follows CT (Level C). Some manuscripts read: Then what do you⁺ want me to do.

15:24 — Verse 15:25 has been removed. See Gospel Source-Criticism. Literally: "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."

15:27 — CT is certain (Level A) that Chapter 15 Verse 28 is not part of the original text: And the scripture was fulfilled, which says, And he was reckoned with transgressors.

15:32 — The following verse (the three-hour darkness) has been removed. See Gospel Source-Criticism. Literally: "And when the sixth hour came, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour."

15:37 — Verse 15:38 (the tearing of the temple veil) has been removed. See Gospel Source-Criticism. Literally: "And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom."

🔗Chapter 16

16:7 — The Greek reads "he goes before you into Galilee." The UPDV adopts the retrospective reading based on the Aramaic tradition behind the text. See Variant Exceptions.

16:8 — The text from verse 9 through verse 20 is not included. CT is certain (Level A) that verses 9-20 are not part of the original text.
