1 tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Two other conjunctions are omitted in this series.
2 tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Grk “demoniac, and he healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.”
4 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “Then.”
5 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
6 tn Grk “And behold.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
7 tn Grk “shouted, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.
8 sn Have mercy on us is a request for healing. It is not owed to the men. They simply ask for God’s kind grace.
9 sn There was a tradition in Judaism that the Son of David (Solomon) had great powers of healing (Josephus, Ant. 8.2.5 [8.42-49]).
