UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῆς περιχώρου

all the multitude ˱of˲_the surrounding_region

This phrase means “everyone who lived in that area.” It is a generalization for emphasis, since every single resident of that region did not make this request. Rather, this was the general request of the crowd that came out to see what had happened. Alternate translation: [the crowd that had gathered from the region]

τῆς περιχώρου τῶν Γερασηνῶν

˱of˲_the surrounding_region ˱of˲_the Gerasenes

Alternate translation: [the area where the Gerasene people lived]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο

because ˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_˓were_being˒_gripped_with

If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this phrase first in the sentence, since it gives the reason for the result that the rest of the sentence describes.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο

˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_˓were_being˒_gripped_with

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [they became very afraid]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

φόβῳ μεγάλῳ συνείχοντο

˱with˲_fear great ˱they˲_˓were_being˒_gripped_with

Luke speaks of this fear as if it were something that could actively take hold of these people. Alternate translation: [they became very afraid]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

αὐτὸς δὲ ἐμβὰς, εἰς πλοῖον

he and ˓having˒_boarded into ˓the˒_boat

Luke says he, meaning Jesus, to describe the entire group of Jesus and his disciples. Alternate translation: [Jesus and his disciples got into the boat]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπέστρεψεν

returned

The implication is that Jesus and his disciples were going to return to Galilee. Alternate translation: [to go back across the lake]
