Note: Mark
4:24 -- The text follows the oldest mss. in the Egyptian recension;
the majority of later Byzantine codices have
"given to those who hear."
**
Note: Mark
4:25 & parallels: "has not" -- Matthew & Mark use ouk
with the indicative; Luke uses mé with the subjunctive.

Note: Note: Note: "who
has...who has not" -- Matt 25:29 & Luke 19:26 use a present
participle construction [literally: "the having...the not having"]
unlike the present indicative in Mark 4:25 & parallels.
