MARK 5:17 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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 5:1–20: Jesus freed a man whom many evil spirits controlled

After the storm, Jesus and his disciples arrived at the northeastern shore of Lake Galilee. This was a region where many Gentiles lived.

When Jesus and his disciples arrived, a man who was controlled by many evil spirits immediately came to Jesus. Jesus commanded the evil spirits to leave the man. When the evil spirits left, they went to control a large herd of pigs and destroyed those pigs.

“Uncleanness” is a theme in this story. The evil spirits that controlled the man were called “unclean” spirits. Tombs were “unclean.” Jews also considered pigs to be “unclean.” Jesus showed his power over evil spirits when he healed the man.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus commanded many unclean spirits to leave a man

The deliverance of a man who was controlled by many unclean spirits

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 8:28–34 and Luke 8:26–39.

5:17

And the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region.

Then the people who were from there began to beg Jesus to leave that area.
When they heard all that, they were even more afraid and said, “Please, we^(excl) beg you to leave our region.”

And: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as And could also be translated as “Then” (NIV, NRSV). Here it introduces the people’s response to what the witnesses told them in 5:16. Connect 5:17 to 5:16b in a way that is natural in your language for this context.

the people began to beg Jesus to leave their region: In some languages it may be more natural to use direct speech here. For example:

…the people began to say to Jesus, “Please leave our region!”

the people began to beg: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the people began to beg is literally “they began to beg.” The people who pleaded were people from the area who came to see what had happened. Many English versions supply a general subject such as “the people” to indicate this.

began to beg: In this context the Greek phrase that the BSB translates as began to beg probably indicates that the people made their request more than one time. It does not imply that the people began to beg but did not finish their request. If it is confusing in your language to use a verb like “began” here, you may leave this idea implicit. For example:

pleaded

begged repeatedly

The Greek word that the BSB translates as beg is similarly translated as “begged” in 5:10 and 5:12. If it is natural in your language, it is probably good to translate it in the same way here. See the note on 5:10.

their region: Translate region in the same way as you did at 5:1a–b and 5:10.
