Exegesis
The participle legontas {λέγοντας | lé-gon-tas} introduces the content clause headed by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti}, and the fronted adverb houtōs {Οὕτως | Hoú-tōs} emphasizes the unprecedented nature of the event in the exclamation oudepote eidomen {οὐδέποτε εἴδομεν | ou-dé-po-te eí-do-men}. In translation, the infinitival result is rendered with finite verbs for readability, and the concise exclamation is slightly expanded to capture its full impact.
In context — Mark 2:12
And he arose, and immediately, taking up the bed, went out before all, so that all were astonished and glorified God , saying, “We have never seen anything like this.”
