OET (OET-LV) And they said to him:
The apprentices/followers of_Yōannaʸs are_fasting frequently, and they_are_making petitions, likewise also the ones of_the Farisaios_party, but the ones to_yours are_eating and are_drinking.
OET (OET-RV) Then the religious leaders complained, “Yohan’s followers often fast and bring their needs to God, as do the Pharisees, but your followers are eating and drinking.”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
οἱ δὲ εἶπαν
they and said
The pronoun they refers to the Pharisees and scribes. Alternate translation: “Then the religious leaders said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ἰωάννου
˱of˲_John
The Pharisees and scribes assume that Jesus will know that they are referring to John the Baptist. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “John the Baptist”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ δὲ σοὶ ἐσθίουσιν καὶ πίνουσιν
they and the the_‹ones› the_‹ones› but ˱to˲_yours /are/_eating and /are/_drinking
There is an implied challenge and question in this observation. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: “But your disciples do not fast, and we want you to tell us why”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
ἐσθίουσιν καὶ πίνουσιν
/are/_eating and /are/_drinking
The Pharisees are using the two components of a meal to mean an entire meal. Alternate translation: “continue to have meals”
5:33 John the Baptist’s disciples: Most rabbis had students who learned from them and served them (see also Acts 19:1-7).
• fast and pray regularly: Many pious Jews fasted two days a week (Luke 18:12). Fasting was associated with spiritual preparation (Esth 4:16) and repentance (2 Sam 12:22; Joel 1:14; Jon 3:5). Fasting is not a means of righteousness (Isa 58:4-5; Jer 14:12) but a spiritual discipline for cultivating intimacy with God. Fasting is often linked with prayer and spiritual retreat.
• Why are your disciples always eating and drinking? The point was that they did not fast regularly.
