7:30a

And: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as And introduces what happened next as a result of the events of the previous verses. Some English versions leave this connection implied. In some languages it may be natural to indicate the connection in some way. Use a natural way in your language to express a concluding event that is the result of previous actions in the story. For example, the NIRV says:

So she went home

7:30b–c

found: The Greek word that the Berean Standard Bible translates as found indicates that the woman saw her daughter. This word does not imply that the woman’s daughter was lost.

lying on the bed: The phrase lying on the bed indicates that the daughter was resting. She was lying peacefully on the bed. She was no longer suffering from the demon. This phrase does not imply that the daughter was still sick. If this is not clear in your language, you may have to say:

resting and lying on the bed
-or-
lying peacefully on the bed
