Footnotes

  1. Mark 11:2 Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“enter”) which is understood as temporal
  2. Mark 11:2 *Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation
  3. Mark 11:3 Some manuscripts omit “that” after “say” here; though understood to be present in the underlying Greek text, it introduces direct discourse here and is left untranslated, functioning much like English quotation marks
