SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:1–6: Jesus healed a sick man on the Sabbath

In this section Jesus healed a man whose arms and legs were swollen. He performed this miracle on a Sabbath day in the house of a Pharisee. This event did not necessarily happen after the events of the previous section. It occurs only in Luke.

Another possible heading for this section is:

Jesus Heals a Sick Man (GNT)

The next two sections, 14:7–14 and 14:15–24, also occur in the house of the Pharisee. English versions have divided 14:1–24 into sections in different ways. For example:

The GW has one section for 14:1–24. The section heading is:
Jesus attends a banquet
The NIV has two sections. They are:
Jesus at a Pharisee’s House (14:1–14)
The Parable of the Great Banquet (14:15–24)

It is good to read these sections before you decide where to make the section breaks. You should divide the sections in a way that will be appropriate in your language.

14:6

And they were unable to answer these questions.

Again there was nothing they were able to say/answer.
But they could not think of a good reply.

And: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as And here introduces the fact that the leaders did not respond to Jesus’ question in 14:5a–b in the way Jesus wanted them to. Some English versions do not have a conjunction here. Other versions, such as the GNT and NET, introduce this verse with “But.” Connect 14:6 to 14:5 in a natural way in your language. See the examples in the next note.

they were unable to answer these questions: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as they were unable to answer these questions is literally “they could not reply to these things.” The ESV translates it that way. This Greek clause is slightly different from the clause that the BSB translates as “they remained silent” in 14:4a.

The phrase “could not reply” implies that the leaders could not think of a way to answer Jesus’ question without supporting his viewpoint. They did not want to admit that they would rescue a person or animal from a well on the Sabbath. If they admitted that, they would also be admitting that Jesus was right to heal the man. Other ways to translate this clause are:

And to this they could find no answer (NJB)

They couldn’t argue with him about this. (GW)

But they were not able to answer him about this. (GNT)

Your translation should not imply that they were literally unable to speak.
