  • Behold - This marks the beginning of another event in the larger story. It may involve different people than the previous events. Your language may have a way of doing this.
  • What do we have to do with you, Son of God? - This first rhetorical question is hostile (see UDB, en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion).
  • Son of God - The demons use this title to show that Jesus is not welcome because of who he is.
  • Have you come here to torment us before the set time? - This second rhetorical question is also hostile and means "You should not disobey God by punishing us before the specific time God has set when he will punish us." (See: en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
