# Mark 04 General Notes #

#### Structure and Format ####

Some translations prefer to set apart quotations of the Old Testament. The ULB and many other English translations indent all the lines of 4:12, which is a quotation from the Old Testament.

4:3-10 forms one parable. The parable is explained in 4:14-23. 

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####

##### Parables #####
There are many parables in this chapter. They are a way Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God. Jesus explains their meanings to the disciples, but not to the crowds. 

#### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter ####

##### Implicit Information #####
In several parts of this chapter the author left some information implicit that his original readers would have understood and thought about. Modern readers might not know some of those things, so they might have trouble understanding all that the author was communicating. The UDB often shows how that information can be presented so that modern readers will be able to understand those passages. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
