uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ λέγων, μηδὲ εἰς τὴν κώμην εἰσέλθῃς

and ˱he˲_sent_out him to /the/_home ˱of˲_him saying not into the village ˱you˲_/may/_come_in

It may be more natural in your language to make everything that Jesus commands in this verse a direct quotation or an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “And he told him, ‘Go to your home. You may not even enter into the town’” or “And he sent him away to his home, telling him that he might not even enter into the town”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “and he said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

μηδὲ & εἰσέλθῃς

not & ˱you˲_/may/_come_in

Because Jesus is speaking to the man who was blind, the word You is singular.
