- Mark 5:40 tn Grk “They were laughing at him.” The imperfect verb has been taken ingressively.
- Mark 5:40 tn Or “threw them all outside.” The verb used, ἐκβάλλω (ekballō), almost always has the connotation of force in Mark. The typical “put them all outside” is somewhat understated in the context; given the raucous nature of the crowd in v. 38, forceful activity was probably required in order to evict them.
- Mark 5:40 tn Grk “those with him.”
- Mark 5:40 tn Grk “into where the child was.”
