Footnotes

  1. Mark 12:38 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. Mark 12:38 tn Or “for the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.

  4. Mark 12:38 sn There is later Jewish material in the Talmud that spells out such greetings in detail. See H. Windisch, TDNT 1:498.
  5. Mark 12:38 sn See the note on marketplaces in Mark 6:56.
