OET (OET-LV) Therefore they_are_saying again to_the blind man:
What are_ you _saying about him, because he_opened_up the eyes of_you?
And he said, that He_is a_prophet.
OET (OET-RV) So they asked the man who had been blind, “Well, what do you have to say because it was your eyes that he opened?”
¶ “He must be a prophet,” the man said.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγουσιν
˱they˲_/are/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὅτι ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς
because ˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes
Because the next verse indicates that the Pharisees did not believe that the man used to be blind, here, since does not mean that they thought the man had really been healed. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “since you claim that he opened your eyes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἠνέῳξέν σου τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς
˱he˲_opened_up ˱of˲_you the eyes
Here, he opened your eyes describes the newly gained ability to see by referring to something associated with vision coming into action, specifically, the eyes. See how you translated a similar phrase in 9:14. Alternate translation: “he caused you to see”
9:17 The man had already identified his healer (9:11, 16). Now he made his own spiritual judgment, calling Jesus a prophet.
OET (OET-LV) Therefore they_are_saying again to_the blind man:
What are_ you _saying about him, because he_opened_up the eyes of_you?
And he said, that He_is a_prophet.
OET (OET-RV) So they asked the man who had been blind, “Well, what do you have to say because it was your eyes that he opened?”
¶ “He must be a prophet,” the man said.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
