Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:26–39: Jesus freed a man whom many demons controlled

After the storm in the preceding section, Jesus and his disciples arrived at the northeastern shore of Lake Galilee. Most of the people who lived in this region were Gentiles. A man who was controlled by many demons immediately came to Jesus. Jesus commanded the demons to leave the man. When they left, they went to control a large herd of pigs and destroyed them. When Jesus freed the man from these demons, he showed his great power over them.

“Uncleanness” is a theme in this story. The spirits that controlled the man were considered “unclean” (and called “unclean” in 8:29a). Tombs were “unclean.” Jews also considered pigs to be “unclean.”

When people saw that Jesus had caused the demons to leave the man and enter the pigs, they asked him to leave the area. Their response showed that even when people saw that Jesus was very powerful, sometimes they still would not believe in him or accept him as the Messiah.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

Jesus commanded many demons to leave a man

The deliverance of a man who was controlled by many demons

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 8:28–34 and Mark 5:1–20.

Paragraph 8:26–33

In this paragraph Luke told about events that happened when Jesus and his disciples came to the other side of the lake. Several times Luke inserted background information about the past. In some languages speakers often shift in this way between telling events and giving background information to explain them. Use natural ways to do this in your language.

In some languages this shift between actions and background information may be confusing. You may need to change the order of some information in these verses. See the General Comment on 8:27a–28a at the end of the notes on 8:28a and the longer General Comment on 8:27–29 at the end of the notes on 8:29e for suggestions.

8:33a

Then the demons came out of the man and went into the pigs,

So after coming out of the man, the demons went into the pigs,
Then the evil spirits left the man and took control of the pigs.

Then: This verse begins with a Greek conjunction that is often translated as “and.” Some English versions, such as the NASB, translate it that way. However, since the action in 8:33a happened after Jesus granted the demons permission in 8:32 and as a result of that, many English versions (CEV, ESV, NLT) connect 8:33a to 8:32c with the conjunction “Then.” Some versions say “When” (NIV) or “So” (NET). A few versions (GNT, GW) do not use a conjunction. Connect 8:33a to 8:32c in a way that is natural in your language.

demons: The Greek word that the BSB translates as demons is the same word as in 8:27b and 8:30c.

came out of the man: See the note on “come out” at 8:29a.

8:33b

and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake

and the herd/group of pigs ran down the sharply sloping bank/edge of the lake into the water
The pigs stampeded down the steep hill into the lake,

8:33c

and was drowned.

and drowned.
and they choked/died in the water.

8:33b–c

the herd…was drowned: The phrase the herd refers to all the pigs as a group, as in 8:32a. The verb was drowned indicates that all the pigs died in the water. Consider whether you should use a singular or a plural verb here.

was drowned: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as was drowned is a passive form. However, its meaning may be expressed in many languages with an active verb. Other ways to translate it are:

(they) drowned

(they) died in the water

rushed: The Greek word that the BSB translates as rushed refers to fast movement. It implies movement that cannot easily be stopped after it has started. It could be translated simply as “run.” However, if your language has a more intense term than “run,” consider using it here.

down the steep bank into the lake: The Greek word that the BSB translates as steep bank describes a steep hill or cliff right at the edge of the lake. After the pigs started down this slope, it was impossible for them to stop, so they fell into the lake.

The term translated as Ehen could mean that the demons came of out the man because Jesus told them they could go into the pigs. You could begin this sentence with the word So, as UST does, to show that.

ὥρμησεν

rushed

Alternate translation: [ran very fast]
