Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
λέγει αὐτῷ
˱he˲_/is/_saying ˱to˲_him
The pronoun he refers to Jesus, and the pronoun him refers to the centurion. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer directly to the people. Alternate translation: “Jesus says to the centurion”
Note 2 topic: translate-tense
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_saying
To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “he said”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐλθὼν
/having/_come
Here Jesus implies that he will come to the centurion’s house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “when I have come to your house”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐλθὼν
/having/_come
In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “when I have gone”
8:7 I will come (cp. Acts 10:9-35; Gal 2:11-14): Some have rendered this as a question: Shall I [a Jew] come [into the house of a Gentile, risking defilement] and heal him?
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
