OET (OET-LV) And he_said to the apprentices/followers Because_of this I_am_saying to_you_all, be_ not _worrying for_your life, what you_all_may_eat nor for_the body what you_all_may_dress_in.

εἶπεν & πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ
˱he˲_said & to the disciples (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς διὰ τοῦτο λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ μεριμνᾶτε τῇ ψυχῇ τί φάγητε μηδὲ τῷ σώματι τί ἐνδύσησθε)
Since Peter asks in 12:41 whether Jesus has been speaking only to the disciples, or also to the crowd as well, the implication is that Jesus did not say these things to his disciples privately, as in 12:1–12, but rather to them publicly so that the crowd could also hear. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “he said to his disciples, as the crowd was listening”

διὰ τοῦτο
because_of this
By this Jesus means the lesson of the story, that it is foolish to be overly concerned about having a lot of food and possessions. Alternate translation: “In light of what this story teaches”
λέγω ὑμῖν, μὴ μεριμνᾶτε
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all not /be/_worrying
Jesus says this to emphasize what he is about to tell his disciples. Alternate translation: “I want you to know that you should not worry”
τῷ σώματι τί ἐνδύσησθε
˱for˲_the body what ˱you_all˲_/may/_dress_in
Alternate translation: “about having clothes to put on your body”
12:22-34 Jesus’ warning against greed (12:13-21) is followed by teaching about living in dependence on God. Jesus’ disciples were to focus on God’s Kingdom and his purpose in this world rather than being obsessed with possessions.
