SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:23–25: Jesus taught, preached, and healed many people

Before this time, not many people knew about Jesus. But soon the news of his teaching and healing spread throughout Galilee and then into neighboring regions and beyond as well. Some of these regions were Jewish and some were non-Jewish.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The ministry of Jesus in Galilee

Jesus did God’s work and the news of him spread beyond Galilee

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 6:17–19.

Paragraph 4:23–25

This paragraph tells where Jesus began his ministry of preaching, teaching, and healing, and how the people responded it.

The events in this paragraph probably happened soon after Jesus called his first disciples. In some languages, it may be natural to begin this paragraph with a time word. For example:

Then

4:23a

Jesus went throughout Galilee,

¶ Then Jesus went all over the district of Galilee.
¶ At that time, Jesus traveled from place to place all over the district of Galilee.

Jesus went throughout Galilee: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as Jesus went throughout Galilee means that Jesus went from village to village and from town to town in the district of Galilee. The Greek tense of the verb indicates continuous or repeated activity. Jesus did this over a long period of time, perhaps a few months.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Jesus went everywhere in Galilee (NCV)

Jesus was going throughout all Galilee (NASB)

Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee (NLT)

4:23b

teaching in their synagogues,

He taught about God in the synagogues of those people,
At each place, he taught the Jews in their prayer/worship houses.

teaching: In this context, the verb teaching probably indicates that Jesus taught from the Scriptures. He made the meaning clear.

in their synagogues: The word synagogues refers to buildings where Jews gathered to pray, read Scripture, teach their beliefs, and worship God. The Jews also gathered in synagogues for cultural activities. There was only one temple, but each Jewish community had a synagogue.

The word their refers to Jews in those locations.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

prayer-houses of the Jews

meeting-places of the Jews

buildings for worship

houses for gathering together

The term you use for synagogue should be different from the term you use for “temple.” The temple was the main Jewish house of worship, which was located in the city of Jerusalem.

If the word synagogue is already known in your area, you may write it according to the sounds of your language. You may want to include a word or phrase to explain the meaning. For example:

sinagog house/building

See synagogue in the Glossary for more information.

4:23c

preaching the gospel of the kingdom,

and he told people the good news/words about the kingdom of God,
He also announced the good news that God is starting to rule over his people.

preaching: The Greek word that the BSB translates as preaching also occurs in 4:17. Here are some other ways to translate this word:

announcing (NLT)

proclaiming (ESV)

telling people

the gospel of the kingdom: The Greek word that the BSB translates as gospel is sometimes translated as “good news” (NIV). In the New Testament, this Greek word specifically means “the good news that God has made a way to save sinful people through Jesus.”

In Matthew, the word kingdom is usually referred to by the fuller expression “kingdom of heaven.” It refers to God’s rule in a person’s life.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the good message about God’s kingdom

the good news concerning God’s kingship/ruling

the good news about submitting to God’s rule/authority

You may want to look at kingdom of heaven in the Glossary for more information.

4:23d

and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

and he healed people who had every type of disease and illness.
He cured people from all types of diseases, illnesses, disabilities, and other sicknesses.

healing every disease and sickness: The words disease and sickness are a doublet. This means that these words have almost the same meaning. Together, these words refer to every type of illness and physical problem that people can have.

Different cultures categorize diseases and physical problems in different ways. As you translate this clause, remember that Jesus healed people of leprosy, fever, blindness, demon-possession, and various handicaps. You should find terms that cover all (or most) of these.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Use two terms. For example:
healing all the people’s diseases and sicknesses (NCV)
healing every disease and handicap
curing every illness and injury
Use more than two terms. For example:
he cured people who were sick, handicapped, and injured
he healed people who had every type of disease, illness, disability, and other sickness
Use one term. For example:
healing every kind of sickness
curing everyone who was not feeling well

Here, the phrase going around in indicates that Jesus traveled through many places in the region of Galilee. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he was traveling to many places in] or [he took trips through]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί περιῆγεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ διδάσκων ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς αὐτῶν καί κηρύσσων τό εὐαγγέλιον τῆς βασιλείας καί θεραπεύων πασᾶν νόσον καί πασᾶν μαλακίαν ἐν τῷ λαῷ)

Matthew is using the possessive form to describe a gospel that is about the kingdom. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the gospel concerning the kingdom]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν

Here, the phrase every disease and every sickness represents people with these diseases and sicknesses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [every diseased person and every sick person]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν

The terms every disease and every sickness mean similar things. Matthew is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [every ailment] or [every sickness]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πᾶσαν νόσον καὶ πᾶσαν μαλακίαν

Matthew says every here as a generalization to emphasize how Jesus healed many different kinds of disease and sickness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [many kinds of diseases and many kinds of sicknesses]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ λαῷ

Here, the phrase the people refers specifically to Jewish people living in Galilee. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the Jewish people there]
