SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:29–31: Jesus healed many people

In this short section, Jesus healed many people with different kinds of physical problems.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus healed many kinds of illnesses

Jesus made many people well

15:31a

The crowd was amazed

As a result, the crowd was amazed
The people were astonished at what they heard and saw.

The Greek begins this verse with a conjunction that BSB leaves untranslated but that some English versions translate as “so that.” It means “for this reason, therefore, so.” This conjunction indicates that 15:31 is the result of 15:30.

Here are some other ways to begin this verse:

Use a conjunction. For example:
As a result (NET)
Therefore/So
Begin the verse without any conjunction. For example:
The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking… (NIV)

The crowd: This phrase refers to the same people as the “large crowds” of 15:30a. The expression you use here should refer to the same group of people.

was amazed: The Greek word that the BSB translates as was amazed indicates that the people were amazed.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

were amazed (NIV)

were astonished (NJB)

marveled (NASB)

15:31b

when they saw the mute speaking,

to see mute people speaking,
They heard people talking who were not able to talk before.

they saw the mute speaking: The crowd saw each type of handicapped person (the mute, crippled, lame, and blind) healed and functioning normally. In some languages, it may be more natural to say that the crowd “heard” the mute speaking rather than say that they saw the mute speaking. For example:

they heard the mute speaking. They saw…

Everyone was amazed at what they saw and heard. (CEV)

15:31c

the crippled restored,

and handicapped people made whole/complete,
They saw people with ruined/dried arms and legs who now became well,

the crippled restored: The Greek word that the BSB translates as restored means “whole,” or “undamaged.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the maimed made whole/complete

they saw the handicapped made healthy

the crippled restored (NASB)

the crippled made well (NIV)

15:31d

the lame walking,

and lame people walking,
and saw people walking normally who were not able to walk properly before,

15:31e

and the blind seeing.

and blind people seeing.
and saw people seeing who were not able to see before.

15:31f

And they glorified the God of Israel.

So they praised the God of the people of Israel.
As a result, they honored the God whom the Jews worship.

they: The pronoun they refers to the crowds. They are the same people who were amazed in 15:31a. The people whom Jesus healed probably also glorified God. But here the focus is on the crowds who saw all these miracles.

glorified: The Greek word that the BSB translates as glorified means “spoke well about.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

praised (NIV)

honored

spoke highly of

the God of Israel: The term Israel here refers to the “people of Israel.” Also the use of the word of indicates that the people of Israel have a relationship with God. It does not mean that God belongs only to Israel.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

God of the people/nation of Israel

God of the Jews/Israelites

God whom the people of Israel worship

General Comment on 15:31

It may be more natural in your language to list the people healed first and then the reaction of the crowd. Here is an example:

Therefore, the mute were now speaking, and the crippled were now well, and the lame were now walking and the blind were now seeing. The crowds saw all this and were astonished, and they praised the God of Israel.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὥστε

so_that

Here, the phrase so that introduces a result from Jesus healing many sick people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a result. Alternate translation: [with the result that]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

κωφοὺς & κυλλοὺς & χωλοὺς & τυφλοὺς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὥστε τούς ὄχλους θαυμάσαι βλέποντας κωφούς λαλοῦντας κυλλούς ὑγιεῖς καί χωλούς περιπατοῦντας καί τυφλούς βλέποντας καί ἐδόξασαν τόν Θεόν Ἰσραήλ)

See how you translated these phrases in [15:30](../15/30.md). Alternate translation: [people who were mute … people who were crippled … people who were lame … people who were blind]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραήλ

Matthew is using the possessive form to describe the God whom Israel worships. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the God whom Israel worships]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Ἰσραήλ

˱of˲_Israel

Here, the word Israel refers to the people of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [of the people of Israel]
