OET (OET-LV) And he was_withdrawn from them about a_stone throw, and having_knelt the knees, he_was_praying
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὡσεὶ λίθου βολήν
about /a/_stone throw
This is an idiom that means “about as far as someone can throw a stone.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could represent this with a general expression or with an estimated measurement. Alternate translation: “a short distance” or “about 30 meters” or “about 100 feet”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
θεὶς τὰ γόνατα
/having/_knelt the knees
As Jesus indicates in his parable in 18:11, the customary posture of prayer in this culture was standing. By kneeling down, Jesus indicated that he was praying urgently about a serious matter. Alternate translation: “after kneeling down to show the urgency of his request”
