SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:12–13: Jesus refused Satan’s temptations

In this section Satan tried to persuade Jesus to sin, but Jesus refused to do what Satan wanted. It is good to translate this section before you decide on a section heading.

Here are some other options for this section heading:

The temptation of Jesus

Satan tempts Jesus

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 4:1–11 and Luke 4:1–13.

1:12

At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,

At once: The phrase that the BSB translates as At once is literally “And immediately.” It indicates that this event is the next thing that happened to Jesus. It also indicates that this event is an important new event in the story. See the note in 1:10a on the phrase “As soon as….”

The phrase At once here does not imply that the Holy Spirit hurried to send Jesus out into the wilderness. It also does not imply that the Holy Spirit sent Jesus into the wilderness at the exact time that God finished speaking in 1:11.

the Spirit: The phrase the Spirit refers to the Holy Spirit. It is recommended that you use the same term here as you used in 1:10c and 1:8b. See the notes there.

drove Jesus: The Greek word that the BSB translates as drove can be used in many ways. It is often used of expelling demons, but in other verses it means to send out or lead out of a place.

Here are some other ways that English versions translate it in this context:

drove him out (NRSV)

compelled (NLT)

made him/Jesus go (GNT, CEV)

sent/sent out (NCV, NIV)

It is good to use an expression that implies some compulsion or forcefulness but not too much. Do not imply that the Holy Spirit treated Jesus cruelly or that Jesus resisted the Holy Spirit and had to be forced to go.

into the wilderness: The word wilderness refers to a wild, desolate area where few people lived. This word was also used in 1:3a. You should translate it the same way here.

Jesus and John were already in the wilderness. So this verse must mean that the Holy Spirit sent him to a different place in the wilderness. See the Display on 1:12 for two ways to indicate this.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ εὐθὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὐθύς τό Πνεῦμα αὐτόν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τήν ἐρῆμον)

Here, the phrase And immediately introduces the next major event in the story. Mark implies that this event began soon after the event he just finished narrating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event. Alternate translation: [Soon after that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εὐθύς τό Πνεῦμα αὐτόν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τήν ἐρῆμον)

Here Mark speaks as if the Spirit physically picked up Jesus and casts him out into the wilderness. He means that the Spirit compelled Jesus to go to the wilderness, although he did not force Jesus to go against his will. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [compels him to go] or [leads him out]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:12-13 The Spirit then compelled Jesus (cp. Matt 4:1; Luke 4:1): Jesus was victorious over Satan and temptation from the beginning of his ministry; the later exorcisms (Mark 1:21-34; 3:11-12; 5:1-20; 9:14-27) are an outworking of that victory (see 3:27).
• Jesus was tempted in the wilderness of Judea. Satan and wild animals (Isa 13:19-22; Ezek 34:25) give the wilderness an evil aura. The wild animals included dogs, wolves, leopards, jackals, and bears.
• The period of forty days recalls Israel’s forty years of testing in the wilderness. Israel failed, but Jesus was victorious—he was tempted without sinning (Heb 2:18; 4:15; cp. Jas 1:3, 12; 1 Pet 1:7; Rev 2:10).
