1:10 The expression the heavens splitting apart indicates Jesus’ unique access to God the Father; in 15:38, the same verb includes believers in that access through Jesus’ death.
• All four Gospels refer to the Spirit descending on him like a dove. The Spirit, who was involved in the first creation, acted with Jesus in bringing the new creation (Gen 1:2; Rom 8:15-17; 1 Cor 6:11; Eph 1:13-14; 2 Thes 2:13).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εὐθὺς ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος, εἶδεν
immediately going_up from the water ˱he˲_saw
Here, the word immediately indicates that as soon as John baptized Jesus, Jesus saw the heavens being split open as he was coming up out of the water. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [right away, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος
going_up from the water
Here Mark implies that Jesus was in the Jordan River when he was baptized. Afterwards, he came up out of the river. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [leaving the water of the river] or [stepping out of the river]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἀναβαίνων & καταβαῖνον
going_up & coming_down
In contexts such as these, your language might say “going” instead of coming. Alternate translation: [going up … going down]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς, καὶ
˱he˲_saw /being/_divided the heavens and
Here Mark is referring to a phenomenon in which heaven and earth are connected in a special way so that someone or something can move from one place to the other. Jesus was able to see this happening. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state more explicitly what it means for the heavens to be split open. Alternate translation: [he could see the heavens being split open to connect heaven and earth, and he saw] or [he saw the entrance to the heavens opening and]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς
/being/_divided the heavens
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 God. Alternate translation: [the heavens splitting open] or [God splitting the heavens open]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
τὸ Πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον ἐπ’ αὐτόν
the Spirit as /a/_dove coming_down on him
The phrase like a dove could mean: (1) the Spirit looked like a dove as he was coming down upon Jesus. Alternate translation: [the Spirit coming down on him, looking like a dove] (2) the Spirit descended upon Jesus as a dove descends from the sky toward the ground. Alternate translation: [the Spirit coming down on him as a dove comes down to earth]
