Mark 3:11

Context
3:11 And whenever the unclean spirits 4  saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

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.

4 sn Unclean spirits refers to evil spirits.
