² Contra R. H. GUNDRY, Mark: A Commentary on His Apology for the Cross (Grand Rapids 1993) 478. On the significance of the Twelve here as the "kleinere und qualifiziertere Gruppe," see K. STOCK, Boten aus dem Mit-Ihm-Sein. Das Verhaltnis zwischen Jesus und den Zwolf nach Markus (AnBib 70; Rome 1975) 71 n. 206.

³ Cf. GUNDRY, Mark, 478-479; his neglect of this point misleads him to the view that su,n subordinates the disciples to the crowd here.

⁴ Note that in referring to these two OT figures again, Mark 9,5 follows the order, Moses–Elijah, as do Matt 17,4 and Luke 9,33.
