3:22 The teachers of religious law (see study note on 1:22) from Jerusalem attributed Jesus’ apparent madness to his being possessed by Satan (Greek Beelzeboul; see study note on Matt 10:25). Jesus’ opponents credited his miracle-working ability to Satan (as in the rabbinic work, Sanhedrin 3:43a, where miracle-working is ascribed to sorcery).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish
οἱ γραμματεῖς, οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες ἔλεγον
the scribes ¬which from Jerusalem /having/_come_down /were/_saying
Here Mark uses the phrase having come down from Jerusalem to distinguish these scribes from any other scribes. Be sure that this distinction is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “the scribes, the ones having come down from Jerusalem, were saying”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
καταβάντες
/having/_come_down
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone down”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
ἔλεγον, ὅτι Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει; καὶ, ὅτι ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, ἐκβάλλει τὰ δαιμόνια
/were/_saying ¬that Beelzeboul ˱he˲_/is/_having and ¬that by the ruler ˱of˲_the demons ˱he˲_/is/_casting_out the demons
It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: “were saying that he had Beelzebul and that by the ruler of the demons he was casting out the demons.”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
Βεελζεβοὺλ ἔχει
Beelzeboul ˱he˲_/is/_having
Here the scribes mean that Jesus is possessed or controlled by Beelzebul. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He is possessed by Beelzebul” or “Beelzebul possesses him”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων
by the ruler ˱of˲_the demons
Here the scribes mean that Jesus has power from the ruler of the demons to cast out demons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “By the power of the ruler of the demons” or “As he is empowered by the ruler of the demons”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῷ ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων
the ruler ˱of˲_the demons
The phrase the ruler of the demons refers to the devil, that is, Beelzebul. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons,”
