Mark 1:10

Context
1:10 And just as Jesus 1  was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens 2  splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 3 

1 tn Grk “and immediately coming up out of the water, he saw.” The present participle has been translated temporally, with the subject (Jesus) specified for clarity.

2 tn Or “sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven,” depending on the context. The same word is used in v. 11.

3 sn The phrase like a dove is a descriptive comparison. The Spirit is not a dove, but descended like one in some sort of bodily representation.
