OET (OET-RV) Large crowds were following Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) when he turned and spoke to them,
In the previous section, Jesus warned people about the danger of rejecting God’s invitation to join his kingdom. In this section he told them two parables to advise them that they should not underestimate the suffering and difficulties which they would face if they decided to truly be his disciples.
Some other possible headings for this section are:
The Cost of Being a Disciple (NIV)
Do not underestimate the hardship of being a disciple
Large crowds were now traveling with Jesus,
¶ One day when many people were walking/journeying with Jesus,
¶ On one occasion, large numbers of people were accompanying/following Jesus on his way to Jerusalem.
In Greek this verse begins with a conjunction that many English versions translate as “Now.” This conjunction is not an expression of time. It introduces the next event, which happened at a different time and place from the preceding section. The BSB does not translate this conjunction. Since this is the start of a new section, it may be good style to indicate a general time setting. For example:
Once, when great crowds (REB)
On one occasion, many people
Large crowds were…traveling with Jesus: Many people were accompanying Jesus. They were walking along behind him as he traveled. Although other verses indicate that he was traveling toward Jerusalem, you should only make this information explicit if it is necessary in your language.
and He turned and said to them,
he turned to them and said,
He turned and said to them,
He turned and said to them: The phrase turned and said to them implies that Jesus was walking in front of the crowds of people who were following him. Then he stopped and turned to face them.

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνεπορεύοντο Δέ αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοί καί στραφείς εἶπεν πρός αὐτούς)
Luke uses the word And to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next. Alternate translation: [Now]

Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Jesus is no longer at the dinner at the home of the Pharisee. He has resumed his journey to Jerusalem. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could introduce this new situation more fully. Alternate translation: [Jesus then continued on his way to Jerusalem, and large crowds were traveling with him]

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.
