uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὅλη ἡ πόλις

all the city

Here, the word city represents the people who lived in the city. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “everyone in the city”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ὅλη

all

Mark says whole here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “majority of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἦν & ἐπισυνηγμένη

was & /having_been/_gathered_together

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. Alternate translation: “gathered together” or “came together”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πρὸς τὴν θύραν

at the door

Here Mark implies that the door is the entrance to house where Simon and Andrew lived. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “at the door of the house of Simon and Andrew” or “at the door of the house where Jesus was”
