Footnotes
- 62 This verse is one complete sentence in the Greek text, but it has been broken into two sentences in English for clarity.
- 63 Grk “about the fourth watch of the night,” between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.
- 64 Or “on the lake.”
- 65 The καί (kai) was translated so as to introduce a subordinate clause, i.e., with the use of “for.” See §442.9.
- 66 The statement he wanted to pass by them is somewhat difficult to understand. There are at least two common interpretations: (1) it refers to the perspective of the disciples, that is, from their point of view it seemed that Jesus wanted to pass by them; or (2) it refers to a theophany and uses the language of the Greek Old Testament () when God “passed by” Moses at Sinai (cf. Exod 33:19, 22). According to the latter alternative, Jesus is “passing by” the disciples during their struggle, in order to assure them of his presence with them. See W L. Lane, Mark (), 236.
