Mark 9:18

It taketh him [κ α τ α λ α β η]. Lit., seizeth hold of him. Our word catalepsy is derived from this.

Teareth [ρ η σ σ ε ι]. Rev., dasheth down, with rendeth in margin. The verb is a form of rJhgnumi, to break. The form rJhssw is used in classical Greek of dancers beating the ground, and of beating drums. Later, in the form rJassein, a term of fighters : to fell, or knock down, which is the sense adopted by Rev.

Gnasheth with his teeth. Rev., grindeth. This and the pining away are peculiar to Mark.
