SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:18–26: Jesus healed a sick woman and raised a dead girl

In this section, Matthew continued to write about the power that Jesus has to heal people. In addition, he again showed that faith is important.

There are two stories in this section. In one story Jesus healed a woman who had a bleeding problem for twelve years. This story is told in the middle of another story. In that story, he raised to life a girl who had recently died.

According to the law of Moses, a woman who had a bleeding problem was unclean. If a normal Jew came in contact with such a woman, he became impure. Also, according to the law of Moses, a dead body was unclean. If a normal Jew touched a dead body, he became unclean. But these two women did not contaminate Jesus. Instead, power went out from Jesus to heal the bleeding woman, and his supernatural power caused the girl to become alive again.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

A Dead Girl and a Sick Woman (NIV)

A sick woman is healed and a dead girl lives again

Jesus Heals in Response to Faith (NLT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 5:21–43 and Luke 8:40–56.

Paragraph 9:23–26

This paragraph finishes the story started in 9:18–19 about the girl who died. If you have a way to show that the story of the girl continues at this point, you may want to use it here. For example:

After that, Jesus went into the official’s house.

Jesus continued along with the leader and went into his house. (NCV)

Then Jesus continued walking to the official’s house. When he arrived…

9:23a

When Jesus entered the house of the synagogue leader,

¶ Then Jesus went and arrived at the house of the religious leader.
¶ Then Jesus continued walking to the synagogue leader’s house. When he arrived there, he entered

entered the house of the synagogue leader: This clause can mean that Jesus “arrived at the synagogue leader’s house,” or that he “entered into the synagogue leader’s house.” For example:

Jesus arrived at the official’s home (NLT)

Jesus went into the home of the official (CEV)

You should translate whichever one is most natural in your culture.

synagogue leader: This is the same synagogue leader who was mentioned in 9:18b. Use the same word for this person as you did there.

9:23b

He saw the flute players and the noisy crowd.

He saw flute players and a crowd making noise.
and saw musicians playing funeral songs and a crowd wailing and making noise.

flute players: This clause refers to people who were paid to come to a house where someone died. They were paid to play sorrowful tunes on a flute.

A flute is a musical instrument. It is a tube closed at one end and with holes along the length. A person blows in or across an opening at one end to make the sounds.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the funeral flute players

people playing musical instruments

musicians playing funeral songs

people playing songs of mourning

the noisy crowd: This clause refers to people who were paid to come to a house where someone died. They were paid to wail and make other noises of mourning. It probably also includes the noise of people coming and going and talking over the wailing and music.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

the crowd making noise

a crowd wailing/mourning

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθὼν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐλθών ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τήν οἰκίαν τοῦ ἄρχοντος καί ἰδών τούς αὐλητάς καί τόν ὄχλον θορυβούμενον)

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: [having gone]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τοὺς αὐλητὰς

A flute is a musical instrument. It is a thin, hollow rod, and people blow into one end of it to make sounds. In Jesus’ culture, people often hired flute players to play music at funerals. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of instrument or why people are playing it when someone dies, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [people playing funeral songs] or [the musicians for the funeral]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν ὄχλον θορυβούμενον

Matthew refers to how people make much noise when they are grieving or mourning. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the crowd grieving loudly] or [the crowd being very loud as they mourned]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

θορυβούμενον

˓being˒_distressed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [making a commotion] or [being noisy]
