OET (OET-LV) And he_asked the father of_him:
How_much time it_is while this has_become with_him?

OET (OET-RV) Yeshua asked his father, “How long has this been happening?”
¶ “Since he was small,” he replied,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:14–29: Jesus expelled an evil spirit from a boy

Earlier Jesus had given power to his twelve disciples to cast out demons and heal sick people. The disciples divided into groups of two and went and did those things (6:7–13). But here, when Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, and John, he saw the other disciples arguing with the teachers of the Jewish law. They were arguing because the disciples were not able to make an evil spirit leave a man’s son.

When the evil spirit saw Jesus, it took control of the boy. Then Jesus caused the evil spirit to leave him. A large crowd of people was there and saw all these things.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Healing of a Boy with an Evil Spirit (NIV)

A boy was freed from an evil spirit

The Disciples’ Failure to Heal (NET)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 17:14–21 and Luke 9:37–43.

9:21a

Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been with him?”

How long has this been with him?: This is a real question. Jesus asked how many months or years the boy had had this problem. This question does not ask how many seconds or minutes the boy had been convulsing on this occasion.

Here is another way to translate this question:

When did these convulsions begin?

9:21b

“From childhood,” he said.

From childhood: The Greek word that the BSB translates as childhood also means “infancy.” It can refer all the way back to the time when a child was a newborn baby.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

Since he was very small/young

Ever since he was a little child

Ever since he was born

he said: The BS places the words he said in the middle of the father’s response. In Greek, these words occur at the beginning of 9:21b. Place the words he said where it is natural in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἐπηρώτησεν τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ, πόσος χρόνος ἐστὶν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ? ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, ἐκ παιδιόθεν

˱he˲_asked (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Πόσος χρόνος ἐστίν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐκ παιδιόθεν)

It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: [he asked his father how much time it was while this had been happening to him. And he said that it was from childhood.]

πόσος χρόνος ἐστὶν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Πόσος χρόνος ἐστίν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐκ παιδιόθεν)

Alternate translation: [For how much time has this been happening to him] or [This has been happening to him for how long of a time]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐκ παιδιόθεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Πόσος χρόνος ἐστίν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐκ παιδιόθεν)

The father is 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: [This has been happening to him from childhood]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐκ παιδιόθεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ Πόσος χρόνος ἐστίν ὡς τοῦτο γέγονεν αὐτῷ ὁ Δέ εἶπεν Ἐκ παιδιόθεν)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of childhood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Since he was very young]
