If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation (continuing the sentence from the previous verse): [explaining that another friend has just arrived on a journey and that he does not have enough food to feed him]

ἐπειδὴ φίλος μου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐπειδή φίλος μού παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός μέ καί οὐκ ἔχω ὅ παραθήσω αὐτῷ)

The speaker uses the word since to introduce the reason why he is making this request at this time. If you translate this as a direct quotation, it may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [Let me tell you why I am asking. My friend] or [I am asking because my friend]

ὃ παραθήσω αὐτῷ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐπειδή φίλος μού παρεγένετο ἐξ ὁδοῦ πρός μέ καί οὐκ ἔχω ὅ παραθήσω αὐτῷ)

It is unlikely that the speaker has no food at all in his house that he could serve his friend. Rather, this is an exaggeration for emphasis. Alternate translation: [enough food to feed him]

This could mean: (1) as UST implies, while his family has the ingredients to make a meal, they do not want to make a weary traveler wait the time it would take for them to bake bread and prepare other food. Alternate translation: [any food prepared to feed him] (2) the speaker wants to extend hospitality by sharing a meal with his guest, and so he needs enough food for a family meal. Alternate translation: [enough food to share a meal with him]
