3:21 He’s out of his mind: Mark does not explain whether the attempt by Jesus’ family to seize him was motivated by sincere but misguided concern, or by hostility. Jesus’ brothers and sisters were not among his followers until after his resurrection (3:31-35; John 7:3-5; 1 Cor 15:7 mentions James, the brother of Jesus, who became a leader of the Jerusalem church, Acts 15:13-21).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
οἱ παρ’ αὐτοῦ
the_‹ones› with him
Here the phrase the ones from him could refer to: (1) Jesus’ relatives, most specifically his mother and brothers, who are the ones who arrive at the house in 3:31. Alternate translation: “his family” (2) Jesus’ friends from his hometown, Nazareth. Alternate translation: “his friends”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐξῆλθον κρατῆσαι αὐτόν; ἔλεγον γὰρ, ὅτι ἐξέστη
˱they˲_came_out /to/_apprehend him ˱they˲_/were/_saying for ¬that ˱he˲_flipped_out
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “were saying, ‘He is out of his mind.’ Therefore, they went out to seize him”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐξῆλθον
˱they˲_came_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: “came out”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κρατῆσαι αὐτόν
/to/_apprehend him
Here Mark implies that the ones from him intend to compel Jesus to return with them in their custody or control. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to take him into their custody” or “to restrain him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἔλεγον & ὅτι ἐξέστη
˱they˲_/were/_saying & ¬that ˱he˲_flipped_out
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “they were saying that he was out of his mind”
Note 6 topic: writing-pronouns
ἔλεγον
˱they˲_/were/_saying
The pronoun they could refer to: (1) the ones from him. Alternate translation: “the ones from him were saying” or “these ones were saying” (2) people in general. Alternate translation: “people were saying”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐξέστη
˱he˲_flipped_out
Here, the clause He is out of his mind means that these people think that Jesus is insane, that is, acting irrationally. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He is crazy” or “He is acting irrationally”
