MARK 6:13 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 6:6b–13: Jesus sent the twelve apostles to different towns to preach and heal people

In this section Mark wrote that Jesus began to go around to various Jewish villages in order to teach the people. He also sent out his twelve apostles two by two into the villages. Jesus gave the apostles authority over evil spirits, and he gave them instructions for their journey. The apostles went out and preached that people should repent. They cast out demons and healed sick people.

The NIV starts a new section and paragraph at 6:6b. Some translations, such as the NASB and BSB, start the new section at 6:7. If you decide to do this, you should still make 6:6b a separate paragraph.

Here is another possible heading for this section:

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve (NIV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:35; 10:5–15; Luke 8:1; 9:1–6.

Paragraph 6:12–13

In this paragraph, the disciples went to various villages to do the things that Jesus sent them to do. They preached that people should repent. They expelled demons, and they healed people.

6:13a

They also drove out many demons

They were also causing demons to leave many people,
They commanded demons to come out of people, and the demons obeyed.

They also drove out many demons: The Greek word that the BSB translates as drove out is literally “cast/throw out.” To “drive out” demons means to cause evil spirits to stop controlling a person. The apostles did this by commanding the spirits to leave.

Jewish people often spoke of demons as being in someone. Different cultures have different ways of speaking about people being controlled by demons and being released from the control of demons. Use a natural expression for this in your language.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

sent many demons away

exorcized many evil spirits

freed many people who were controlled by evil spirits

See how you translated the same phrase “drove out many demons” in 1:34b.

demons: The Greek word that the BSB translates as demons refers to spirits that are evil and can control people’s actions. This Greek word refers to the same type of spirits as the Greek terms that are often translated as “evil spirits” and “unclean spirits.”

See the note on “unclean spirits” in 6:7c and evil spirit in the Glossary for more information.

6:13b

and healed many of the sick,

and made them well,
and healed their sicknesses,

6:13c

anointing them with oil.

and they poured oil on many sick people.
They also put drops of oil on the heads of many sick people.

6:13b–c

and healed many of the sick, anointing them with oil: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as anointing them with oil means that the disciples were putting oil on sick people. The exact purpose of anointing the sick people with oil is not clear. Some scholars believe that the oil helped in some way to heal the sick people. However, more scholars believe that anointing the sick people with oil was a symbol to show that God was blessing the sick person and healing him or her.

Use whatever verb is natural in your language to say that the disciples placed a little bit of oil (probably a few drops) on a person (probably on the head).

Here are some other ways to translate this:

rubbed olive oil on many sick people and healed them (GNT)

healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil. (NLT)
