20:29-34 The blind men’s expression of faith in the Son of David was an acknowledgment of Jesus as the Messiah (see 21:9; 22:42; 2 Sam 7:12-16).
Note 1 topic: translate-tense
λέγουσιν
˱they˲_/are/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “They said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
Κύριε, ἵνα
Lord that
The blind men are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous verse if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Lord, we desire that”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἵνα ἀνοιγῶσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν.
that /may_be/_opening_up the eyes ˱of˲_us
Here, the clause that our eyes might be opened indicates that the two blind men want to be able to see with their eyes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable clause or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “that our eyes might be healed” or “that our eyes might see”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀνοιγῶσιν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἡμῶν
/may_be/_opening_up the eyes ˱of˲_us
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “our eyes might become open”
