OET (OET-LV) And I_brought him to_the apprentices/followers of_you, and they_were_ not _able to_heal him.

OET (OET-RV) I brought him to your apprentices, but they weren’t able to heal him.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 17:14–20: Jesus healed a boy whom a demon controlled

In 10:1 Jesus had given power to his twelve disciples to cast out demons and heal sick people. Then the disciples went out in groups of two and did those things (Mark 6:7–13). But in this section, they could not cast out a demon that caused a boy to have severe physical problems. Only Jesus was able to force the demon to leave the boy. This story shows that the disciples’ faith was not yet strong.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus Cures A Demon-Possessed Boy (GW)

The Healing of a Boy With a Demon (NIV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 9:14–29 and at Luke 9:37–43.

17:16

I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

I brought him: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as brought is the verb that Matthew frequently used when people were brought to Jesus for healing. Here the man probably brought his son to the disciples while Jesus was on the mountain.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

I took/led him

I went with him

to Your disciples: These disciples were most likely the nine disciples who did not go up the mountain with Jesus.

but: There is a mild contrast here. The contrast is between the man’s expectation that the disciples could heal his son, and the disciples’ inability to do so. Some English versions do not indicate this contrast. For example:

and they could not heal him (ESV)

they could not heal him: The Greek word that the BSB translates as could not implies that the disciples tried to heal the boy, but they failed.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

they were not able to heal him (NET)

they did not have the strength/power to cure him

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσήνεγκα αὐτὸν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου

˱I˲_brought (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσήνεγκα αὐτόν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σοῦ καί οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν αὐτόν θεραπεῦσαι)

Here the man implies that he brought his son so that Jesus’ disciples could heal him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [I brought him to your disciples to be healed]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

σου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσήνεγκα αὐτόν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σοῦ καί οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν αὐτόν θεραπεῦσαι)

The man Peter is talking to Jesus, the word your here is singular.

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

(Occurrence 2) καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσήνεγκα αὐτόν τοῖς μαθηταῖς σοῦ καί οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν αὐτόν θεραπεῦσαι)

Here, the word and introduces what the disciples were actually able to do, in contrast with what the man wanted them to do. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a contrast. Alternate translation: [but]
