OET interlinear MARK 6:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ γενομένου Σαββάτου ἤρξατο διδάσκειν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες ἐξεπλήσσοντο λέγοντες πόθεν τούτῳ ταῦτα καὶ τίς ἡ σοφία ἡ δοθεῖσα τούτῳ καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τοιαῦται διὰ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ γινόμεναι)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Jesus and what he said and did. Alternate translation: “he astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying” or “what he said astonished many of the ones hearing him, who were saying”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούοντες

Here, the phrase translated the many ones hearing him could refer to: (1) the many people who were hearing him. In this case, all of the many people were astonished. Alternate translation: “all the many people hearing him” (2) many of the people who were hearing him. In this case, not all of the people were astonished. Alternate translation: “many of the ones hearing him”

The people in Jesus’ hometown are using the question form to express their surprise that Jesus has wisdom and can do miracles. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “We are surprised to see this one doing these things, and we are surprised that this one has been given the wisdom and such miracles happening by his hands.” or “We have no idea where these things that this one does are from, and we do not know what the wisdom that has been given to this one is, and such miracles happening by his hands!”

If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “What is the source of these things for this one” or “How is this one able to do these things”
