MAT 15:30 Parallel Verse View

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 15:29–31: Jesus healed many people

In this short section, Jesus healed many people with different kinds of physical problems.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus healed many kinds of illnesses

Jesus made many people well

15:30a

Large crowds came to Him, bringing

Many crowds came to him and brought
many people came to him. They came with

Large crowds: The Greek phrase the BSB translates as Large crowds can be translated more literally as “many crowds.” The plural crowds perhaps indicates that groups of people came from different areas. Perhaps one group came from one town, and another group came from another town.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

many groups of people

many people

15:30b

the lame, the blind,

paralyzed people, and blind people
people who could not walk properly, and people who could not see,

the lame: The word lame refers to those who could not walk or use their legs well. There was something wrong with one or both legs.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

the crippled

people who had crippled legs

those with bad legs

those who could not walk well

This word also occurs in 11:5a.

15:30c

the crippled, the mute,

and handicapped people, and mute people,
and people whose arm or leg was ruined/dried, and people who could not talk,

the crippled: The word crippled refers to people who have something wrong with an arm or a leg. Their arm or leg was deformed in some way. Or they may be missing part of an arm or a leg.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

the maimed (RSV)

those with ruined limbs

the handicapped

the mute: The word mute refers to people who are unable to talk. The RSV, GNT and NJB use the word “dumb,” which in this context, means the same as mute. Here it does not mean “stupid.”

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

those unable to talk

15:30d

and many others,

and many other afflicted people.
and many other people who were handicapped and sick.

many others: This phrase refers to other people who had other types of handicaps. It may also refer to those who had diseases. And it may also refer to people who were demon possessed. Some languages use different words for people who are handicapped, those who are sick with diseases, and those who are demon possessed. So it may be necessary to use two or more different expressions here. For example:

many other afflicted people

many other people who had handicaps and who were sick

15:30e

and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.

They placed them in front of Jesus, and he healed them.
They put them all before Jesus, and he healed them and made them all well.

and laid them at His feet: This clause means “they placed the handicapped people in front of Jesus.” For example:

They placed them…in front of Jesus (CEV)

and He healed them: Jesus miraculously healed everyone who was handicapped and everyone who was sick. He immediately made each person well. He did not heal them like a doctor heals.

As mentioned above, some languages use different words for people who are sick with a disease and people who are handicapped. In these languages, the verb healed may refer only to curing those who had a disease. Such languages may need to use a second verb to refer to Jesus restoring handicapped people. Or there may be a more general term to cover both. For example:

he made them all well

he miraculously healed them and made them well

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

χωλούς, τυφλούς, κυλλούς, κωφούς

lame (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί προσῆλθον αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί ἔχοντες μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν χωλούς κυλλούς τυφλούς κωφούς καί ἑτέρους πολλούς καί ἔρριψαν αὐτούς παρά τούς πόδας αὐτοῦ καί ἐθεράπευσεν αὐτούς)

Matthew is using the adjectives lame, blind, crippled, and mute as nouns to mean people who were sick in all those ways. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [people who were lame, blind, crippled, and mute]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἑτέρους πολλούς

others many

Matthew implies that these people were sick in other ways. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [many other sick people] or [many who were sick in various other ways]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἔρριψαν αὐτοὺς παρὰ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ

Here, the phrase they laid them at his feet means that the crowds laid the sick people in front of Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they laid them before him]
