TSNTyndale Study Notes:

10:1-42 Chapter 10 continues the series of festival sermons (see study note on 5:1–10:42). Here, the setting is Hanukkah (the Festival of Dedication), the timing of which is crucial to understanding the story (see study note on 10:22).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα οὐκ ἔστιν δαιμονιζομένου

these ¬the sayings not is ˱of˲_being_demon_possessed_‹one›

Here, words refers to what a demon-possessed man would say. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “These things are not what a demon-possessed man would say”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ δαιμόνιον δύναται τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοῖξαι?

not /a/_demon /is/_able ˱of˲_/the/_blind /the/_eyes /to/_open_up

The people are using the form of a question to emphasize that they do not believe that a demon could heal a blind person. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Certainly a demon cannot cause a blind man to see!” or “Certainly a demon cannot give sight to blind people!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τυφλῶν ὀφθαλμοὺς ἀνοῖξαι

˱of˲_/the/_blind /the/_eyes /to/_open_up

Here, open the eyes describes the ability to see by referring to something associated with vision coming into action, specifically, the eyes. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to cause the blind to see”
