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 1:35–39: Jesus prayed alone and then preached in other villages

In this section Jesus got up very early in the morning and went out of the town alone to pray. When his disciples found him, they implied that he should come back to town and help more people. Jesus told them that he must go and preach in other villages. Then he and his disciples went to other villages so that he could preach there also.

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

Here are some other ideas for this section heading:

Jesus prays in an isolated place

Jesus preached in other villages in Galilee

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 4:23 and Luke 4:42–44.

1:39a

So He went throughout Galilee,

So/Then Jesus and his disciples traveled through the entire region of Galilee,
After Jesus said that, they walked to the various towns in Galilee.

So: The Greek word that the BSB translates as So is the common conjunction that is often translated as “And,” as in the RSV. It introduces the conclusion of this section. It also introduces what happened as a result of what Jesus said in 1:38. Introduce these things in a natural way in your language.

He went throughout Galilee: The word He refers here to Jesus. The focus of the sentence is on Jesus and what he did in Galilee. The word He does not imply that Jesus abandoned the disciples and went throughout Galilee without them. In some languages, it may be necessary to make explicit that the disciples went with Jesus. For example:

Jesus and his companions/disciples…

went throughout Galilee: The phrase went throughout Galilee indicates that Jesus and his disciples walked from place to place through the whole region of Galilee.

1:39b

preaching in their synagogues

and he/Jesus preached in their synagogue buildings,
In each town, they went to the meeting place, and Jesus taught/told the people the good news from God.

preaching: For the word preaching, see the note in 1:38b. In this context, it indicates that Jesus preached repeatedly. In each town he went to the synagogue and preached to the people there.

their synagogues: In the Jewish culture, Synagogues were buildings where Jewish people prayed, read Scripture, taught their beliefs, and worshiped. The same word occurs in 1:21b, 1:23b, and 1:29a. Here it refers to the synagogues that were in the towns in Galilee. The pronounTheir refers to the people in those towns. See synagogue in the Glossary.

1:39c

and driving out demons.

and he commanded/caused evil spirits to leave people.
He also expelled demons.

driving out demons: The phrase driving out demons indicates that Jesus was causing evil spirits to release their control over people and to leave them. See the note on 1:34b. See also evil spirit in the Glossary.

General Comment on 1:39b–c

In some languages, the phrases with the words preaching and driving out may need to be expressed as main verbs. For example:

he preached…and he drove out

Use ways that are natural in your language to express these phrases and to connect them with each other.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἦλθεν κηρύσσων & εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν

˱he˲_came proclaiming & in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἦλθεν κηρύσσων εἰς τάς συναγωγάς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τήν Γαλιλαίαν καί τά δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων)

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἦλθεν

˱he˲_came

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

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἦλθεν κηρύσσων εἰς τάς συναγωγάς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τήν Γαλιλαίαν καί τά δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων)

The pronoun their refers to the Jewish people living in Galilee. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [the Jewish synagogues] or [the synagogues in that area]
