SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:18–26: Jesus healed a sick woman and raised a dead girl

In this section, Matthew continued to write about the power that Jesus has to heal people. In addition, he again showed that faith is important.

There are two stories in this section. In one story Jesus healed a woman who had a bleeding problem for twelve years. This story is told in the middle of another story. In that story, he raised to life a girl who had recently died.

According to the law of Moses, a woman who had a bleeding problem was unclean. If a normal Jew came in contact with such a woman, he became impure. Also, according to the law of Moses, a dead body was unclean. If a normal Jew touched a dead body, he became unclean. But these two women did not contaminate Jesus. Instead, power went out from Jesus to heal the bleeding woman, and his supernatural power caused the girl to become alive again.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

A Dead Girl and a Sick Woman (NIV)

A sick woman is healed and a dead girl lives again

Jesus Heals in Response to Faith (NLT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 5:21–43 and Luke 8:40–56.

9:21a

She said to herself, “If only I touch His cloak,

The Greek of 9:21a begins with a word that is often translated as “for.” It introduces the reason for the woman touching Jesus’ clothes. She touched Jesus clothes (9:20b), for/because she thought she would be healed (9:21).

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

because

The reason she did this was because

The BSB and some other English versions do not translate this word and allow the context to imply the connection.

She said to herself: The words said to herself probably means that she thought the words rather than spoke them aloud.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

she was saying to herself (NASB)

she was thinking (NJB)

If only I touch His cloak: The woman believed that she would be healed just by touching Jesus’ clothes. She thought that it was not necessary to touch Jesus’ body to be healed. She also thought that Jesus did not need to say something or touch her for her to be healed.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

If I can just touch his clothes (CEV)

Even if I only touch his clothes

9:21b

I will be healed.”

I will be healed: This clause is passive.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

General Comment on 9:21

In some languages, it may be more natural to use indirect speech here. For example:

She thought that if she only touched his coat, she would become well.

General Comment on 9:20–21

The woman was saying those things to herself before she touched Jesus’ clothes. In some languages, it may be more natural to place 9:21a–b before 9:20b. For example:

20aA woman with a bleeding sickness for twelve years was there. 21aShe was saying to herself, “If I just touch his clothes, 21bI will get well!” 20bSo she came close behind Jesus and touched the edge of his robe.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν Γάρ ἐν ἑαυτῇ Ἐάν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ σωθήσομαι)

Here, the word for introduces a reason why the woman touched the edge of Jesus’ garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason for an action, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [since] or [which she did because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔλεγεν & ἐν ἑαυτῇ

˱she˲_˓was˒_saying & in herself

Here, the clause she was saying in herself indicates that she was thinking the words, not saying them out loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to thinking or speaking only to oneself. Alternate translation: [she was saying to herself] or [she was thinking to herself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἐν ἑαυτῇ, ἐὰν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ, σωθήσομαι

in herself (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγεν Γάρ ἐν ἑαυτῇ Ἐάν μόνον ἅψωμαι τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ σωθήσομαι)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [to herself that if she could only touch his cloak, she would be saved]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μόνον ἅψωμαι

only ˱I˲_˓may˒_touch

Here, the word only indicates that the woman thinks that, to be healed, she does not need to do anything more than touch Jesus’ garment. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [all I do is touch] or [I can just touch]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σωθήσομαι

˱I˲_˓will_be_being˒_healed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, you could indicate that is God or Jesus himself. Alternate translation: [God will save me] or [he will save me]
