Note 2 at Mk. 12:37: The Greek word translated as "common" in this instance is "polus." Out of the 347 times this Greek word is used in the New Testament, this is the only time it is translated "common." It was translated as "abundant" once; "far passed" once; "far spent" once; "great" 59 times; "long" 3 times; "many" 185 times; "many stripes" once; "many things" 23 times; "much" 71 times; and "plenteous" once (source: Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible). Therefore, many translations render this, "the large crowd," etc.
