Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
μηδένα κωλύειν
no_one /to_be/_forbidding
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle none and the negative verb forbid. Alternate translation: “to allow all”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ
˱of˲_his own_‹people› ˱of˲_him
By his own, Luke implicitly means Paul’s own friends. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “of his friends”
24:23 It was in keeping with the proper treatment of a Roman citizen to give him some freedom and allow his friends to visit him and take care of his needs.

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