translationNotes

  • This begins the account of Jesus healing two blind men.
  • As Jesus passed by from there - Jesus was leaving the region.
  • passed by - It is not clear whether Jesus was moving uphill or downhill. Use a general term for going.
  • Son of David - Jesus was not David's literal son, so this may be translated as "Descendant of David" (UDB). However, "Son of David" is also a title given to the Messiah (see :en:bible🎶mat:21:09), and the men were probably calling Jesus by this title.
  • When Jesus had come into the house - This could be either Jesus' own house (UDB) or the house in :en:bible🎶mat:09:10.
  • Yes, Lord - "Yes, Lord, we believe you can heal us."
