SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:35–43: Jesus healed a blind beggar

As Jesus and his disciples continued their journey to Jerusalem, they came to Jericho. A blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. He asked Jesus to make him able to see again. Luke does not mention the beggar’s name, but Mark mentions that his name was Bartimaeus. Jesus healed him and told him that the reason he could now see was because he believed in Jesus.

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

Jesus Heals a Blind Man (NCV)

Jesus gives sight to a blind man

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:27–31, 20:29–34 and Mark 10:46–52.

18:43a

Immediately he received his sight

And instantly the blind man was able to see!
As soon as Jesus said that, the blind man could see!

Immediately he received his sight: The word Immediately can also be translated as “at once,” “instantly,” or “right away.” The Greek word that is translated by the phrase he received his sight is another form of the word that the blind man used when he said “let me see again” in 18:41b. Here it means “the blind man saw.” He was blind but then he could see. Other ways to translate this clause are:

At once the man was able to see (NCV)

And immediately he regained his sight (NET)

18:43b

and followed Jesus, glorifying God.

He followed Jesus, and as he followed him, he praised God.
He followed Jesus, saying, “God is great. He has made me able to see again!”

and followed Jesus: The blind man began to walk along the road to Jerusalem with Jesus and the rest of the crowd. The verb followed probably also implies that he became one of Jesus’ disciples.

glorifying God: In some languages it may be natural to translate this as direct speech. For example:

shouting, “Glory be to God!”

he was exclaiming, “God is great/good!”

18:43c

And all the people who saw this gave praise to God.

When all the people saw what had happened, they also praised God.
And when all the other people realized that the blind beggar could see again, they said, “God has done great things!”

all the people: The phrase all the people refers to the others who were in the crowd and saw what had happened. They realized that Jesus had healed the blind man and that now he was able to see. Luke is using the word all for emphasis. This word does not refer literally to everyone in the crowd. Another way to translate this is:

Many people saw what had happened. They also praised God. (EASY)

gave praise to God: In some languages it may be natural to translate this as direct speech. For example:

they also shouted, “Praise God!”

they also said, “God is great!”

General Comment on 18:36–43

These verses relate conversations between the blind man and the crowd, Jesus and the crowd, and Jesus and the blind man. The conversations contain a mixture of direct and indirect speech. Consider if it is natural in your language to mix direct and indirect speech in this way. If it is not natural, you may wish to use direct speech for everything that is said. An example of direct speech is given for each verse part in the Display, beginning at 18:36a.

Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem

Much like the difficulties of discerning the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land (see here), the task of reconciling the four Gospel accounts of Jesus’ final journey to Jerusalem into one coherent itinerary has proven very challenging for Bible scholars. As with many other events during Jesus’ ministry, the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke (often referred to as the Synoptic Gospels) present a noticeably similar account of Jesus’ final travels, while John’s Gospel presents an itinerary that is markedly different from the others. In general, the Synoptic Gospels present Jesus as making a single journey to Jerusalem, beginning in Capernaum (Luke 9:51), passing through Perea (Matthew 19:1-2; Mark 10:1) and Jericho (Matthew 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-19:10), and ending at Bethany and Bethphage, where he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-44). John, on the other hand, mentions several trips to Jerusalem by Jesus (John 2:13-17; 5:1-15; 7:1-13; 10:22-23), followed by a trip to Perea across the Jordan River (John 10:40-42), a return to Bethany where he raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11), a withdrawal to the village of Ephraim for a few months (John 11:54), and a return trip to Bethany, where he then enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey (John 12:1-19). The differences between the Synoptics’ and John’s accounts are noteworthy, but they are not irreconcilable. The Synoptics, after noting that Jesus began his trip at Capernaum, likely condensed their accounts (as occurs elsewhere in the Gospels) to omit Jesus’ initial arrival in Jerusalem and appearance at the Festival of Dedication, thus picking up with Jesus in Perea (stage 2 of John’s itinerary). Then all the Gospels recount Jesus’ trip (back) to Bethany and Jerusalem, passing through Jericho along the way. Likewise, the Synoptics must have simply omitted the few months Jesus spent in Ephraim to escape the Jewish leaders (stage 4 of John’s itinerary) and rejoined John’s account where Jesus is preparing to enter Jerusalem on a donkey.
