He_is_having a_demon, and he_is_raving_mad, why are_you_all_hearing from_him?

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–21: Jesus is the good shepherd

In this section Jesus talked about how he related to his people, his followers. He compared himself to the door of the sheep pen and to the shepherd. This comparison is something like a parable, but there is no actual story or narrative. It is more like a word picture, or a series of word pictures linked by the theme of sheep farming. It can also be described as an extended metaphor.

First Jesus compares himself to the door of the sheep pen because he is the way to salvation. Then he compares himself to the good shepherd because he leads and cares for his people as a shepherd does his sheep.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus is the shepherd of his people

Jesus told the parable/story of the good shepherd and his sheep

Jesus compared himself to a shepherd and the door/gate to a sheep pen

Paragraph 10:19–21

This paragraph tells how the people responded to what Jesus said. They reacted in different ways, some approving of Jesus and some opposing him.

10:20a

Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane.

Many of them said: These words introduce the opinion of one group of listeners. This first group was opposed to Jesus.

He is demon-possessed and insane: This expression is more literally “he has a demon and is crazy.” These people rejected what Jesus said as the words of a crazy man (someone who does not think normally). They believed that one way evil spirits could affect a person was to make him mad/crazy. In some languages it is more natural to say that evil spirits caused him to be crazy. For example:

A demon has come into him and made him crazy. (NCV)

is demon-possessed: The Greek expression that the BSB translates literally as is demon-possessed indicates that the people thought that a demon controlled Jesus. A “demon” is an evil spirit. The people thought that a demon could possess (have power over) someone and control their thoughts and actions. Here are some other ways to translate this expression:

He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! (NET)

A demon has come into him and made him crazy. (NCV)

an evil spirit has entered him and made him mad

Use an expression that is natural in your language to refer to an evil spirit controlling a person. See how you translated this expression in 7:20a and 8:48.

and insane: The BSB translates the Greek phrase literally as insane. Use an expression that is natural in your language to describe someone who is unable to think normally. This person does not know what is real and what is not real. It should be an expression that insults the person. For example:

raving mad (NIV)

has lost his mind (NET)

He’s crazy! (GW)

10:20b

Why would you listen to Him?”

Why would you listen to Him?: This is a rhetorical question. These people used it as a rebuke. They were scolding the other people for listening to Jesus. There are two ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this rebuke in a way that is natural in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

δαιμόνιον ἔχει

˓a˒_demon (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγον δέ πολλοί ἐξ αὐτῶν δαιμόνιον Ἔχει καί μαίνεται τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε)

See how you translated a similar phrase in [7:20](../07/20.md). Alternate translation: [A demon is inside of him!] or [He must be under the control of a demon!]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί αὐτοῦ ἀκούετε

why ˱from˲_him ˱you_all˲_˓are˒_hearing

Jesus’ opponents are using the form of a question to emphasize that the people should not listen to Jesus. 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: [You should certainly not listen to him!]
