Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:21–28: Jesus expelled an evil spirit from a man

In this section Mark described the first of four events that happened in the town of Capernaum in the region of Galilee. Paragraph 1:21–26 tells how Jesus expelled an evil spirit from a man in the synagogue at Capernaum. Paragraph 1:27–28 describes the people’s amazed reaction to Jesus’ authority over evil spirits. See the note on “unclean spirit" in 1:23a for ways to translate “evil/unclean spirit.”

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here is another idea for this section heading:

The time when Jesus expelled an evil spirit

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 4:31–37.

Paragraph 1:21–26

This paragraph begins with a change of location. Jesus and his four disciples walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee to the town of Capernaum.

1:26a–b

This verse describes three different things that the evil spirit did. It convulsed the man, left him, and shrieked. The Greek text does not indicate the exact order of these events. It says literally:

Having convulsed him and having cried out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him.

Possibly the demon was shrieking at the same time as it was convulsing the man. Possibly it was still shrieking as it left the man. You may use whatever order is natural in your language to describe a situation like this.

1:26a

At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions

The evil spirit caused the man to shake/convulse.
Then the evil spirit caused the man to have a seizure/convulsion.

the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as threw…into convulsions means that the evil spirit caused the man to have a seizure or a convulsion. It does not mean that the evil spirit grabbed the man’s body and threw him. Use a natural way in your language to describe a seizure or convulsion.

1:26b

and came out with a loud shriek.

Then it shouted very loudly as it came out of him.
It screamed and then left him.

and came out: The verb came out was also used in Jesus’ command in 1:25b.

with a loud shriek: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as with a loud shriek is literally “having cried out with a great voice.” This phrase emphasizes the loudness of the sound. You may use whatever verb is natural in your language to describe the shouting or screaming of an unclean spirit. See the note on 1:23b, which uses a different Greek verb that has a similar meaning.

The unclean spirit shrieked using the man’s mouth. In some languages it may be more natural to describe this action by saying:

the unclean spirit caused the man to shriek

σπαράξαν αὐτὸν

˓having˒_convulsed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί σπαράξαν αὐτόν τό πνεῦμα τό ἀκάθαρτον καί φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ)

Here Mark is referring to a fit or seizure in which a person cannot control his or her body, which shakes violently. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having caused him to have a seizure]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

˓having˒_called ˱with˲_˓a˒_voice loud

Here, the phrase cried out with a loud voice means that the demon raised the volume of its voice. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [having yelled loudly]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ
