OET (OET-LV) The Disciples of_him are_saying:
Behold, now you_are_speaking with plainness, and you_are_speaking not_one allegory.

OET (OET-RV) Yeshua’s followers responded, “Ah, now you’re speaking plainly and not using parables.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:25–33 Jesus had defeated the world

Jesus explained to the disciples that he would return to his Father in heaven. The disciples declared their belief that Jesus was from God, but Jesus questioned the strength of their belief. He told them that they would scatter, but he would still have the Father with him. He told them these things so that they would have peace. He said that even though they would face persecution in the world, he had defeated the world (system).

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus promised the disciples peace when they would be persecuted

The disciples can have courage when others will persecute them

Paragraph 16:29–30

Jesus’ disciples told him that now they understood and believed him.

16:29

His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.

His disciples said: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciples refers to learners who were in a special relationship with a teacher. The learners committed themselves to their teacher in order to learn from him and follow his teaching and example. Disciples often lived with their teacher and followed him wherever he went. Translate this as you did in 16:16 and other verses.

See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech: This sentence indicates that the disciples agreed that Jesus was now talking plainly. He used language that they could understand. Refer to your translation of 16:25 and translate this sentence in a way that makes the connection clear. For example:

You are speaking clearly to us now and are not using stories that are hard to understand (NCV)

Now you are speaking plainly to us! You are not using examples. (CEV)

See, now: The Greek text emphasizes the word that the BSB has translated as now. Jesus had said that the hour was coming when he would speak plainly. The disciples said that he was speaking plainly now. Also, the Greek word that the BSB has translated literally as See emphasizes what follows. Here are other ways to indicate this emphasis:

Look, now (NET)

Yes, now (NRSV)

At last (NLT)

You are speaking plainly: The disciples thought that now they understood what Jesus meant. Avoid implying that Jesus had previously been speaking unclearly so that it was hard to hear what words he used. For example:

now you’re talking in plain words (GW)

without figures of speech: The Greek word that the BSB translates as figures of speech refers to language that illustrates and compares and is not literal. In some contexts it is translated as “parable” or “metaphor.” It is the same word that Jesus used in the plural form in 16:25. Many of Jesus’ disciples had found his parables hard to understand. The implicit information here is that now they think they can easily understand what he is saying. Use the same or a similar expression to what you used in 16:25. For example:

and not figuratively (NLT)

and not using figurative speech! (ESV)

not using stories that are hard to understand (NCV)

You are not using examples. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγουσιν

˓are˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parables

παροιμίαν

allegory

See how you translated this word in [16:25](../16/25.md).

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

16:16-33 a little while: This refrain reassured the disciples that their separation from Jesus would be short-lived.
