Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to the finite verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | egé-ne-to} ‘he became’, modified by the comparative particle hosei {ὡσεὶ | hō-sei} ‘as if’ and the predicate adjective nekros {νεκρὸς | ne-krós} ‘dead’, indicating appearance rather than literal death.
In context — Mark 9:26
And after crying out and violently convulsing him , it came out; and he was as if dead , so that many said, “He has died.”
