  1. Mark 3:14 Some manuscripts add “whom he also named apostles”
  2. Mark 3:16 Most Greek manuscripts omit the phrase “and he appointed the twelve”
  3. Mark 3:18 Literally “the Cananean,” but according to BDAG 507 s.v., this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for “enthusiast, zealot” (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13)
