Mark 1:39 more demons in synagogues? (where should the comma go)

[Eoghan]

Mar 1:39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. (NAS)

Mar 1:39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. (KJV)

Mar1:39 …preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. (NIV)

There is nothing in the English text to clearly rule in or out that the demons were exorcised from within the synagogue. What I want to know is if there is anything in the Greek text – one way or the other?

It seems that a reasonable interpretation would be that two things are mentioned as being accomplished by Christ in the towns of Galilee (vs 38); He preached in their synagogues and cast out demons.

Mark 1:39 και ην κηρυσσων εν ταις συναγογαις αυτων εις ολην την Γαλιλαιαν και τα δαιμονια εκβαλλων

I do not see anything in the Greek to suggest otherwise.
