3:20-35 This story about Jesus and his family (3:20-21 and 31-35) brackets a controversy story about Jesus’ exorcisms (3:22-30); this arrangement identifies Jesus’ family with the religious leaders in opposing him.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ὅτι
because
Here, the word because introduces a reason why Jesus gave the teaching that Mark quotes in 3:23–29. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces this kind of reason. Alternate translation: “which things he said because” or “and the reason for his teaching was that”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἔλεγον, πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει
˱they˲_/were/_saying /a/_spirit unclean ˱he˲_/is/_having
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “they were saying that he had an unclean spirit”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον ἔχει
/a/_spirit unclean ˱he˲_/is/_having
Here the scribes meant that they thought that Jesus was possessed or controlled by an unclean spirit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He is possessed by an unclean spirit” or “An unclean spirit possesses him”
