Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

9:14-29 This is the fourth and last exorcism in Mark (1:21-28; 5:1-20; 7:24-30). The disciples were unable to perform the exorcism, so Jesus performed it, emphasizing the necessity of faith (cp. 2:5; 5:34; 10:52). This is another example of Jesus’ great healing ability and of the disciples’ failure (8:32-33; 9:5-7).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
ἀλλ’
but
Here, the word but introduces what the man wants Jesus to do in contrast with what his son is experiencing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave but untranslated. Alternate translation: “and so”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
βοήθησον ἡμῖν, σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
give_help ˱to˲_us /having_been/_feeling_compassion on us
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since Jesus would have compassion on them before he would help them. Alternate translation: “having compassion on us, help us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
βοήθησον ἡμῖν
give_help ˱to˲_us
This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “I ask that you help us”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμῖν & ἡμᾶς
˱to˲_us & us
By us, the man means himself and his son but not Jesus, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
σπλαγχνισθεὶς
/having_been/_feeling_compassion
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of compassion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “sympathizing with”
