Where the printed editions differ
2 variantsPlaces in this verse where the major printed Greek editions disagree on the wording in a way that affects the translation — a comparison of editions, not a manuscript-by-manuscript collation. The editions are the modern critical texts (Nestlé-Aland 28/27, SBL, Westcott-Hort, Tregelles, Tyndale House) and the traditional texts behind the KJV (the Textus Receptus and the Byzantine/Majority text). It is not a claim about which reading is original.

Mark, in the Gospels, opens this verse with 14 words (14 distinct Greek lemmas). Its most distinctive word is kýklōi (“around”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.
Discussion questions
- The word kýklōi carries the sense “around.” How does it shape the verse?
- Mark 3:34 shares the word «around» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
- These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
- Reading how Bengel's Gnomon and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
Things to notice
- These translations choose different wording for 14 words in this verse.
- 14 distinct Greek lemmas span 14 words in this verse.
Commentary
Notes on Mark 6:36 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.
