NASB | Mark 1:12 ¶ Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 1:12 ¶ Immediately the [Holy] Spirit forced Him out into the wilderness. |
Bible Question: The NASB uses the word "impelled" in Mark 1:12. The NASB concordance claims that the word "ekbaino" is used here, not the word "exballo". Strong does not have the word ekbaino at all. I have not found a Greek text that uses this word either. How did the translators choose this word? |
Bible Answer: My Complete Biblical Interlinear uses a third word "ekballei". I think I would email Lockman directly and see if they will explain to you why they did what they did. To me the best translation of the word is "Compelled". |
