20.35 Beatius est. ID. Hoc in Evangelio non legitur, non enim omnia scripta sunt, sed Paulus forsitan hoc ab apostolis audivit, vel a Spiritu sancto accepit, vel potest dici quod, si non verba, sensum istum Jesus indicavit, dicens: Omni petenti da; et alibi: Nolite accipere aurum, etc. BED.

Vos igitur episcopi, estote solliciti de alendis pupillis, etc.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν, ὅτι & δεῖ
all_‹things› ˱I˲_showed ˱to˲_you_all that & ˱it˲_/is/_fitting
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “I showed you all things in order to demonstrate that it is necessary”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πάντα & ὅτι & δεῖ
all_‹things› & that & ˱it˲_/is/_fitting
Paul says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: “consistently, that it is necessary”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πάντα
all_‹things›
Paul is using the adjective all as a noun. ULT adds the word things to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “all kinds of things”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων
/to_be/_taking_care ˱of˲_the_‹ones› faltering
Paul is referring to helping people by association with the way that someone might take hold of a person who was weak to keep him from falling. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to help those who are weak”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
τῶν λόγων τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν
˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˱about˲_the words ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus that he said
Paul is adding the word himself for emphasis. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “the words that none other than our Lord Jesus spoke”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τῶν λόγων τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ
˱of˲_the_‹ones› ˱about˲_the words ˱of˲_the Lord Jesus
Paul is using the term words to mean a statement that Jesus made by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the statement of the Lord Jesus”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
εἶπεν, μακάριόν ἐστιν μᾶλλον, διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν
said blessed ˱it˲_is more /to_be/_giving than /to_be/_receiving
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “said that it is more blessed to give than to receive”
