δὲ
and
Mark uses the word Now to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens later in the story. The word does not introduce the next event in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: “Meanwhile,” or “During all those things,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
καὶ Μαριὰμ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ, καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ καὶ Ἰωσῆ μήτηρ, καὶ Σαλώμη
also both Mary the Magdalene and Mary the ˱of˲_Jacobus the little and ˱of˲_Joses mother and Salome
Consider how you might naturally include a list of three women with descriptions of them. The UST has moved Salome earlier in the list so that it is clear that she is not one of the children of Mary. Alternate translation: “also Mary Magdalene and Salome and Mary the mother of James the little and of Joses”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
Μαρία ἡ & μήτηρ
Mary the & mother
The word Mary is the name of a woman. This Mary was not Mary Magdalene nor Mary the mother of Jesus. Mark identifies her instead as the mother of James the younger and of Joses.
Note 4 topic: translate-names
Ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ καὶ Ἰωσῆ
˱of˲_Jacobus the little and ˱of˲_Joses
The word James is the name of a man. This James is not James the brother of Jesus, James son of Zebedee, or James son of Alphaeus. The word Joses is also the name of a man. This Joses is not Jesus’ brother.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ἰακώβου τοῦ μικροῦ
˱of˲_Jacobus the little
When Mark refers to James as the little, he could mean that: (1) he was younger than one or more other people named James. Alternate translation: “of James the young” or “of the younger James” (2) he was less well-known than one or more other people named James. Alternate translation: “of James the less” or “of the less famous James” (3) he was a short man. Alternate translation: “of James the short”
Note 6 topic: translate-names
Σαλώμη
Salome
The word Salome is the name of a woman.
15:16-41 The crucifixion account is one of the most historically certain accounts of ancient history. Why would the early church create a story in which the object of their faith was crucified? This story was and still is an offense to Jews and absurd nonsense to Gentiles (1 Cor 1:23).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
