Lexham English Bible
47 But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing his[a] sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus answered and[b] said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? 49 Every day I was with you in the temple courts[c] teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happened[d] in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled.

- Mark 14:47 Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun
- Mark 14:48 Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“answered”) has been translated as a finite verb
- Mark 14:49 Here “courts” is supplied to distinguish this area from the interior of the temple building itself
- Mark 14:49 The phrase “this has happened” is not in the Greek text, but is understood and must be supplied in the translation because of English style; cf. the parallel in Matt 26:56
