OET (OET-LV) And the Yaʸsous having_been_feeling_compassion, touched against_the eyes of_them, and immediately they_received_sight and they_followed after_him.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:29–34: Jesus healed two blind people

In this section, Jesus healed two blind people. These blind people called Jesus the “Son of David” two times. This emphasizes who Jesus was just as he was about to enter Jerusalem as the Messiah. The blind people’s simple request to be healed is a stark contrast with James’ and John’s request for high positions.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Two blind men receive their sight

Jesus had mercy on two blind people and healed them

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 10:46–52 and Luke 18:35–43.

20:34a

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes,

Moved with compassion, Jesus: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Moved with compassion comes from a noun that refers to a person’s intestines. As with many other cultures in the world, Greek culture considered a person’s intestines as the place of strong emotion. In this context, the emotion is pity or compassion. Jesus felt sorry for the blind people. Consider how this sort of emotion is expressed in your language and translate in that way. Here are some English examples:

Jesus’ heart was filled with pity/compassion for them

Jesus’ heart went out to them

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Jesus pitied them and

Jesus felt sorry for them and (CEV)

This word also occurs in 18:27a.

touched their eyes: This clause probably indicates that Jesus touched their eyelids with his fingers or placed his hand over their eyes.

20:34b

and at once they received their sight

and at once: The Greek word that the BSB translates as at once means that as soon as Jesus touched their eyes, they could see.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

Instantly (NLT)

immediately (ESV)

they received their sight: There are two ways to interpret the Greek word that the BSB translates as received their sight:

  1. It means that they were able to see again. This implies that when they were born, they were able to see. Then later they became blind. So, when Jesus healed them, they were able to see again. For example:

    they regained their sight (NRSV) (NRSV, ESV, NJB, GW, JBP, NASB, REB)

  2. It means that they were able to see for the first time. This implies that they had been born blind. So, when Jesus healed them, they were able to see for the first time. It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).This interpretation is supported by BDAG (pages 50–51) “ἀναβλέπω 2. to gain sight, whether for the first time or again, regain sight, gain sight a. lit. α. of blind persons, who were formerly able to see, regain sight” and Louw and Nida 24.42 “to become able to see, whether for the first time or again - ‘to gain sight, to be able to see, to regain one’s sight, gaining of sight.’…It is, however, better to assume that it is a matter of regaining sight unless the context specifies ‘being blind from birth’ or ‘always blind.’” Here are some other ways to translate this word:

    • Use a specific term that means “see again.” For example:

      their sight returned (NJB)

      they were able to see again

    • Use a more general expression that means “see.” For example:

      they were able to see (GNT)

20:34c

and followed Him.

and followed Him: The verb followed is the same verb as in 20:29. You should translate it the same way in both places.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

σπλαγχνισθεὶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: σπλαγχνισθείς Δέ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἥψατο τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν καί εὐθέως ἀνέβλεψαν καί ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of compassion, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [having sympathized with them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ

˱they˲_followed ˱after˲_him

Here, the phrase followed him could indicate that: (1) the two blind men traveled with Jesus and were his disciple. Alternate translation: [they became his disciples] or [they traveled with him as his students] (2) the two blind men walked with Jesus on the road. Alternate translation: [they walked with him] or [they went with him]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

20:29-34 The blind men’s expression of faith in the Son of David was an acknowledgment of Jesus as the Messiah (see 21:9; 22:42; 2 Sam 7:12-16).
