OET (OET-LV) Having_said these things, he_spat on_the_ground and made clay of the spittle, and he_spread_on the clay of_him to his eyes.

OET (OET-RV) After he’d said this, Yeshua spat on the ground and after mixing some clay into a slurry, he spread it on the eyes of the man

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–12: Jesus healed a man who was blind since his birth

This section tells how Jesus healed a man who had been blind all his life. His disciples asked Jesus who had sinned to make him blind, but Jesus said that he was blind to reveal God’s works. People disagreed about whether this man who could see was the same one who was blind.

Here are other possible section headings:

Jesus cured a man who had always been blind

Jesus caused a blind man to begin to see

A man who had never seen anything began to see

Paragraph 9:6–12

In Isaiah 42:6, 7 the Messiah is called “a light to the nations,” who will “open the eyes of the blind.” (The phrase “open the eyes of the blind” means “heal the eyes of the blind” or “enable someone to see.”) Here Jesus showed that he was the Messiah, the light of the world, by healing the blind man. People began to ask the man questions about this, and he told them honestly what happened.

9:6a

When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground,

When Jesus had said this: These words introduce what Jesus did next. Introduce this in a way that is natural in your language here. For example:

After Jesus said this (GW)

Jesus said this and then

Then (NLT)

He spit on the ground: The word spit means to force saliva (the liquid in one’s mouth) out of your mouth. Use an expression that is natural and polite.

9:6b

made some mud,

made some mud: These words indicate that Jesus mixed his saliva with the dust or dirt on the ground. Refer to the wet mixture, or mud, in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

paste (REB)

clay (NET footnote)

9:6c

and applied it to the man’s eyes.

and applied it to the man’s eyes: Jesus put the mixture over the man’s eyes when they were closed. In some languages it may be necessary to make this clear. For example:

spread it over the man’s closed eyes

applied: The Greek word that the BSB translates as applied is more literally “anointed” or “smeared/spread on” or “rubbed on.” Use a verb that refers to rubbing a small amount of mud or clay on someone’s skin.

the man’s eyes: This phrase refer to the man who was born blind.

General Comment on 9:6a–c

There are four verbs in 9:6a–c and you may want to begin a new sentence after 9:6a or 9:6b. For example:

After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man’s eyes. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐποίησεν πηλὸν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος

made (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα Εἰπών ἔπτυσεν χαμαί καί ἐποίησεν πηλόν ἐκ τοῦ πτύσματος καί ἐπέχρισεν αὐτοῦ τόν πηλόν ἐπί τούς ὀφθαλμούς)

Jesus used his fingers to mix the dirt and saliva into mud. If it would be more natural in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [used his fingers to mix the dirt and saliva to make mud]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:6 During the New Testament era, saliva was used for medical purposes (see Mark 7:32-35; 8:22-25).
