OET interlinear MARK 11:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐζήτουν πῶς αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν; ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ αὐτόν, πᾶς γὰρ ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_˓were˒_seeking how (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς καί ἐζήτουν πῶς αὐτόν ἀπολέσωσιν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ αὐτόν πᾶς γάρ ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπί τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the second clause describes, which in turn gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [because all the crowd were being amazed at this teaching, they were fearing him, and so they were seeking how they might destroy him]

ἐζήτουν πῶς

˱they˲_˓were˒_seeking how

Alternate translation: [they were looking for a way by which]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

πᾶς & ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ

all & the crowd ˓was_being˒_astonished (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἤκουσαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς καί ἐζήτουν πῶς αὐτόν ἀπολέσωσιν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ αὐτόν πᾶς γάρ ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπί τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ)

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 what Jesus taught. Alternate translation: [his teaching was astonishing all the crowd]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶς & ὁ ὄχλος

all & the crowd

Mark says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [most people in the crowd] or [most of the crowd]
