SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:35–43: Jesus healed a blind beggar

As Jesus and his disciples continued their journey to Jerusalem, they came to Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. He asked Jesus to make him able to see again. Luke does not mention the beggar’s name, but Mark mentions that his name was Bartimaeus. Jesus healed him and told him that the reason he could now see was because he believed in Jesus.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus Heals a Blind Man (NCV)

Jesus gives sight to a blind man

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:27–31, 20:29–34 and Mark 10:46–52.

18:41a

“What do you want Me to do for you?”

“What do you^(sing) want me to do for you?”
“How do you^(sing) want me to help you?”

18:41b

“Lord,” he said, “let me see again.”

And the man answered, “Lord, I want to be able to see.”
And the blind man said to Jesus, “Lord, I want you^(sing) to heal me so I can see again.”

“Lord,” he said, “let me see again”: Here the blind man was making a polite request to Jesus. He was asking Jesus to heal his eyes so that he could see. Express this request in a polite way in your language. For example:

Lord please heal my eyes so I can see.

Lord, I would like to see again.

Lord: See Lord, Context 3, in the Glossary.

he said: In the Greek text, the phrase that the BSB translates as he said introduces the blind man’s response to Jesus. The BSB has placed it after his response. Place the phrase where it is natural in your language.

see again: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as see again refers here to being able to see again after being blind.Some scholars suggest that the Greek word anablepō may refer here to being able to see for the first time. Although that is a possibility, there is strong support for the meaning “see again.” The following English versions make this explicit: BSB, NRSV, GNT, NJB, GW, REB, NET, NASB, ESV, and JBP. BDAG (p. 59) lists the word as having the sense “regain…sight,” both here and in the parallel passage in Mark 10:51 (Bible Works). Louw and Nida mention that although the word can refer to becoming able to see again or for the first time, it is “better to assume that it is a matter of regaining sight unless the context specifies ‘being blind from birth’ or ‘always blind.’ ” (TW). Arndt (p. 387) and Plummer (p. 431) indicate that with the prefix ana- the verb means either to look up or to see again (in this context, “to see again”). Hendriksen, Fitzmyer, Arndt, Nolland, Plummer, and Reiling and Swellengrebel are among the other scholars who follow this view. One way to translate this is:

please restore my sight

There are two ways to translate the verb here:

Use a specific term that means “see again.” For example:
to regain my sight (NASB)
to see again (GW)
Use a more general expression that means “see.” For example:
to see (NIV)
to be able to see

Translate the verb in a natural way for this context.
