OET (OET-RV) So be confident that you all don’t need to figure out in advance what you will say in your defence
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
οὖν
therefore
But is usually translated “therefore” because it typically introduces a result or conclusion from something that has just been said. However, in some cases, including this one, the term instead indicates a contrast with what has just been said. Knowing they would be put on trial, Jesus’ disciples would naturally want to think about how to defend themselves, but Jesus is telling them, by contrast, not to do that. Alternate translation: “Nevertheless,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
θέτε & ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν
purpose & in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus speaks of his disciples’ hearts as if they were containers in which the disciples could put the resolution he describes. Alternate translation: “make up your minds” or “decide firmly”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
θέτε & ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν
purpose & in the hearts ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus is using the disciples’ hearts to represent their minds. Alternate translation: “make up your minds”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μὴ προμελετᾶν ἀπολογηθῆναι
not /to_be/_premeditating /to_be/_defended
The implication is that Jesus’ disciples would be thinking about how to defend themselves against their enemies’ accusations. Alternate translation: “not to try to figure out ahead of time what you should say in order to defend yourself against the accusations of your enemies”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀπολογηθῆναι
/to_be/_defended
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “to defend yourselves”
21:5-38 When Jesus predicted the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem (21:6), his disciples questioned when it would take place and what signs would accompany it (21:7). Jesus responded by describing the events surrounding the destruction of the Temple and the return of the Son of Man (21:8-36). This sermon is known as the Olivet Discourse because the Mount of Olives was the site of Jesus’ teaching (see Matt 24:3; Mark 13:3).

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