Mark 4:40 — “How Is It That Ye Have No Faith?” The Full Rebuke after the Storm

Mark 5:1 — Gadarenes, Gerasenes, or Gergesenes? Locating the Demoniac’s Country

Mark 5:41 — Talitha Cumi: The Aramaic Command and Its Greek Transmission

Mark 6:3 — “Is Not This the Carpenter?” A Reading Once Thought Scandalous

Mark 6:20 — Did Herod “Do Many Things” or Remain “Greatly Perplexed”?

Mark 7:8 — “Laying Aside the Commandment of God”: Has the Rebuke Been Shortened?
