“After crying out
And convulsing him
Terribly,
The spirit came out.
The boy was
Like a corpse.
Thus,
Most of them said.
‘He is dead.’”
καὶ κράξας καὶ πολλὰ σπαράξας ἐξῆλθεν· καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς, ὥστε τοὺς πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.
This is unique to Mark. After crying out (καὶ κράξας) and terribly convulsing the boy with spasms (καὶ πολλὰ σπαράξας), the evil spirit came out of the boy (ἐξῆλθεν), who became a corpse (ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς). Most of the people said that the boy was dead. (ὥστε τοὺς πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν). Could this boy live without the evil spirit in him?
I have read so many articles on the topic of the blogger lovers however this paragraph is genuinely a nice
piece of writing, keep it up.
