Mark 10:1

Jesus’ Teaching about Divorce

1 aGetting up, He * went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds * gathered around Him again, and, baccording to His custom, He once more began to teach them.

a	Mark 10:1–12: Matt 19:1–9
*	A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses.
b	Matt 4:23; 26:55; Mark 1:21; 2:13; 4:2; 6:2, 6, 34; 12:35; 14:49
