# General Information:
|
|
|
|
This begins an account of Jesus healing the daughter of a Canaanite woman.
|
|
|
|
# Jesus went away
|
|
|
|
It is implied that the disciples went with Jesus. AT: "Jesus and his disciples went away" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# Behold, a Canaanite woman came
|
|
|
|
The word "behold" alerts us to a new person in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this. AT: "there was a Canaanite woman who came"
|
|
|
|
# a Canaanite woman came out from that region
|
|
|
|
"a woman from the group of people called Canaanites who live in that region." The country of Canaan no longer existed by this time. She was a part of a people group that lived near the cities of Tyre and Sidon.
|
|
|
|
# Have mercy on me
|
|
|
|
This phrase implies that she is requesting that Jesus heal her daughter. AT: "Have mercy and heal my daughter" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# Son of David
|
|
|
|
Jesus was not David's literal son, so this may be translated as "Descendant of David." However, "Son of David" is also a title for the Messiah, and the woman may have been calling Jesus by this title.

|
|
|
# My daughter is severely demon-possessed
|
|
|
|
This can be stated in active form. AT: "a demon is controlling my daughter terribly" or "a demon is tormenting my daughter severely" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# answered her not a word
|
|
|
|
Here "word" refers to what a person says. AT: "said nothing" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]) |
