πῶς δυνάμεθα τὴν ὁδὸν εἰδέναι?

Thomas is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “We surely do not know the way!”
14:1-31 Jesus provided answers to his disciples’ many spoken and unspoken concerns.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
