Here, the word Now introduces the next event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,]

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [when he had gone]

Here, the phrase the house refers to the place where Jesus was staying. He did not own the house, but someone was letting him live there. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [into the house in which he was living]

πιστεύετε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθόντι Δέ εἰς τήν οἰκίαν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ τυφλοί καί λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Πιστεύετε ὅτι δύναμαι τοῦτο ποιῆσαι Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ναί Κύριε)

Here, the word you is plural because Jesus is speaking to the two blind men.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτο ποιῆσαι

The pronoun this refers to the act of healing them. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to this act directly. Alternate translation: [to make you see]

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλθόντι Δέ εἰς τήν οἰκίαν προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ τυφλοί καί λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς Πιστεύετε ὅτι δύναμαι τοῦτο ποιῆσαι Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Ναί Κύριε)

The two blind men are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Yes, Lord, we believe that you are able to do this]
