9:7

And the man got up and went home: There is implied information here. Jesus healed the man so that he was able to get up and go home. In some languages, it may be more natural to include this implied information. For example:

And the man ⌊was healed,⌋ got up and went home

-or-

⌊Immediately, the man was healed.⌋ He stood up and went home
