OET interlinear MARK 7:31

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ πάλιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πάλιν ἐξελθών ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων Τύρου ἦλθεν διά Σιδῶνος εἰς τήν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἀνά μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Δεκαπόλεως)

Here, the phrase And again introduces the next major event in the story. The word again implies that Jesus has already gone out from a location recently (see [7:24](../07/24.md), where he left for Tyre and Sidon). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And again untranslated. Alternate translation: [After that,] or [Later on,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξελθὼν & ἦλθεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί πάλιν ἐξελθών ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων Τύρου ἦλθεν διά Σιδῶνος εἰς τήν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας ἀνά μέσον τῶν ὁρίων Δεκαπόλεως)

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” and “came” instead of gone and went. Alternate translation: [having come out … he came]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἦλθεν

˱he˲_came

Mark is referring to Jesus to represent both Jesus and his disciples, who traveled with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he, along with his disciples, went]
