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 9:14–29: Jesus expelled an evil spirit from a boy

Earlier Jesus had given power to his twelve disciples to cast out demons and heal sick people. The disciples divided into groups of two and went and did those things (6:7–13). But here, when Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, and John, he saw the other disciples arguing with the teachers of the Jewish law. They were arguing because the disciples were not able to make an evil spirit leave a man’s son.

When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it took control of the boy. Then Jesus caused the evil spirit to leave him. A large crowd of people was there and saw all these things.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Healing of a Boy with an Evil Spirit (NIV)

A boy was freed from an evil spirit

The Disciples’ Failure to Heal (NET)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 17:14–21 and Luke 9:37–43.

9:15a

As soon as all the people saw Jesus,

Immediately, when all the people in the crowd saw Jesus,
When all the people in the crowd saw Jesus/him, immediately

9:15b

they were filled with awe

they were very amazed
they felt great surprise/awe

9:15c

and ran to greet Him.

and ran/hurried to welcome him.
and ran to him and greeted him.

9:15a–c

As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were filled with awe: Verse 9:15a–c indicates that the people were very surprised when they saw Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

When the whole crowd saw him, they were immediately overcome with awe (NRSV)

The whole crowd saw Jesus, and they were immediately amazed.

As soon as: The Greek word that the BSB translates as As soon as indicates that the reaction of the crowd was the next event that happened. In some languages the meaning of “as soon as” or “immediately” may be left implied. For example, the GW says:

All the people were very surprised to see Jesus

Translate this idea in a way that is natural in your language.

they were filled with awe: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as they were filled with awe indicates a strong reaction. The reaction can be positive or negative. It depends on the context.Elsewhere in Mark this Greek verb is used to refer to sorrow (14:34a) and alarm/fear (16:5d). A different form of the same verb is used in 1:27a to refer to shock or amazement.

In this context, this verb probably refers to great surprise or amazement. The people were surprised or amazed because they did not expect to see Jesus right then. This verb may also refer to a feeling of amazement. The people were perhaps amazed because Jesus’ face or clothes were still shining faintly. Mark did not say why the people were surprised or awed. So you should not make explicit the reason for their reaction.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

were greatly surprised (GNT)

were overcome with awe (REB)

were struck with amazement (NJB)

were filled/overcome with surprise and awe

In some languages it may be natural to use a metaphor or idiom to express great surprise or awe.

ran to greet Him: The people ran to Jesus in order to greet him. They wanted to greet him by speaking words of welcome. In some languages it may not be natural to say that a crowd of people ran. If that is true in your language, you may use a more general word. For example, the CEV says:

everyone hurried over to greet him
