Mark 9:31

He taught [ε δ ι δ α σ κ ε ν]. The Rev. would have done better to give the force of the imperfect here : He was teaching. He sought seclusion because he was engaged for the time in instructing. The teaching was the continuation of the "began to teach" (viii. 31).

Is delivered. The present tense is graphic. The future is realized by the Lord as already present. See on Matthew 26:2.

33 - 35. Peculiar to Mark.
