SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:26–39: Jesus freed a man whom many demons controlled

After the storm in the preceding section, Jesus and his disciples arrived at the northeastern shore of Lake Galilee. Most of the people who lived in this region were Gentiles. A man who was controlled by many demons immediately came to Jesus. Jesus commanded the demons to leave the man. When they left, they went to control a large herd of pigs and destroyed them. When Jesus freed the man from these demons, he showed his great power over them.

“Uncleanness” is a theme in this story. The spirits that controlled the man were considered “unclean” (and called “unclean” in 8:29a). Tombs were “unclean.” Jews also considered pigs to be “unclean.”

When people saw that Jesus had caused the demons to leave the man and enter the pigs, they asked him to leave the area. Their response showed that even when people saw that Jesus was very powerful, sometimes they still would not believe in him or accept him as the Messiah.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus commanded many demons to leave a man

The deliverance of a man who was controlled by many demons

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 8:28–34 and Mark 5:1–20.

8:36a

Meanwhile, those who had seen it reported

Meanwhile: This verse begins with a Greek conjunction that is often translated as “and.” The BSB translates it as Meanwhile to indicate that people reported what Jesus had done while others were looking at the man who was healed. Connect 4:4a to 4:3b in a way that is natural in your language.

those who had seen it: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as those who had seen it refers to the people who had witnessed Jesus free the man from the demons. This could have included both the herdsmen and Jesus’ disciples. Since the text does not specify exactly who saw it, use a general expression. For example:

those who had seen what happened (NLT)

Eyewitnesses (REB)

reported: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as reported is literally “reported to them.” The word “them” refers to the people who had come from the city and villages. These people had not seen the healing happen.

8:36b

how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

the demon-possessed man: See how you translated the similar expressions at 8:27b and 8:35c–d. Use a natural expression to describe a man who is or was controlled by demons. If your expression is long, you might consider using a shorter expression to refer to the man here (and at 8:38a). For example:

the man

the healed/freed man

See demon in the Glossary.

healed: The Greek word that the BSB translates as healed is the same word that is commonly used in the Bible to mean “saved, rescued.” It is often used in the spiritual sense of “saved from sins.” In this context, it clearly means “saved/rescued from the control of demons.” Use a word or expression that is natural in your language for this. It may be something like:

healed

delivered/freed

saved/rescued

If you have an expression that could be used for both “rescued from sins” and “rescued from demons,” consider using it here.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οἱ ἰδόντες

the_‹ones› ˓having˒_seen_‹it›

Alternate translation: [those who had seen what had happened]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐσώθη ὁ δαιμονισθείς

˓was˒_healed the_‹one› ˓having_been˒_demon_possessed

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express both of these things with active forms. Alternate translation: [Jesus had delivered the man from the demons who had controlled him]
