o-PSI-as de ge-no-ME-nês HO-te E-dy ho HÊ-li-os E-phe-ron pros au-TON PAN-tas tous ka-KÔS E-khon-tas kai tous dai-mo-ni-dzo-ME-nous
Exegesis
The object of epheron is expanded through pantas tous kakos echontas kai tous daimonizomenous {πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους | pán-tas toùs ka-kôs é-khon-tas kai toùs dai-mo-ni-zŏ-mé-nous}, where pantas ‘all’ is qualified by two accusative participial phrases: those “having it badly” (a idiom for being ill) and those “being demonized.” In English, these participles are best rendered as relative clauses or predicate expressions (“who were sick,” “who were possessed by demons”) to convey their durative, descriptive force. The paired categories of physical sickness and demonic oppression underscore the comprehensive scope of Jesus’s healing ministry inaugurated at this moment in the narrative.
In context — Mark 1:32
Now when evening had come, when the sun had set, they were bringing to Him all those who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
