MAT 9:33 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 9:27–34: Jesus healed two blind men and a mute man

In this section, Jesus performed two more miracles of healing. First, he healed two blind men because they had faith in him. Afterward he asked them not to tell other people about him healing them because he did not want people to try and make him an earthly king. But they were so happy that they told people anyway.

Then Jesus healed a man who was unable to talk because a demon was controlling him. The Pharisees did not believe that Jesus’ power was from God, so they said Jesus got his power from Satan, the leader of demons.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Two blind men and a mute man are healed by Jesus

Jesus healed two blind men and forced a demon out of a mute man

Paragraph 9:32–34

Verse 9:31b is a summary about the deeds of the two men during the days or weeks after they were healed. This paragraph resumes the story from 9:31a after the men had just left Jesus. Some languages may have a special way to indicate that 9:32a resumes the story from 9:31a.

9:33a

And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak.

After the demon was forced to leave, the man spoke.
When Jesus made the evil spirit come out of the man, the man who could not talk started talking.

And when the demon had been driven out: The verb driven out means that Jesus caused the demon to leave and no longer control the man. This verb also occurs in 8:16b. You should translate here as you did there.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

after the demon had been sent/chased away

After Jesus forced the demon to leave (NCV)

when Jesus freed the man from the demon who controlled him

The clause is passive.

Here are some other ways to translate it:

Use a passive verb. For example:
as soon as the demon was forced out (GW)
Use an active verb. For example:
After Jesus had forced the demon out (CEV)

demon: The Greek word that the BSB translates as demon refers to the same type of spirit as the Greek words that are often translated as “evil spirit” or “unclean spirit.” These evil spirits can control peoples’ actions and can make them sick.

Here are some other ways to translate demon:

Use a word in your language that refers to a spirit that is evil and can control people. Do not use a word that refers to the spirit of a dead person.
Use a descriptive phrase. For example:
evil/bad spirit
spirit that does evil
spirit that opposes God

See also demon in the Glossary for more information.

the man began to speak: This clause indicates that Jesus had healed the man.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

9:33b

The crowds were amazed and said,

The crowds were very surprised and said,

Here are some other ways to translate this:

the group of people

the people

9:33c

“Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!”

“Something like this has never been seen in Israel!”
“In our country, Israel, nothing like this has ever happened!”

Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!: This clause indicates that no one had ever healed a mute person in the history of Israel. This type of miracle had never happened.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Nothing like this has ever happened in Israel! (CEV)

Our nation of Israel has never seen anything like this.

in Israel: The word Israel is the name of the nation of the Jews.

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: [No one has ever seen anything such as this]
