OET (OET-LV) And they said:
What are_we_having need of_testimony anymore?
For/Because ourselves we_heard it from the mouth of_him.
OET (OET-RV) “Why would we need any more witnesses than this?” they asked, “because we heard it ourselves straight out of his mouth.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ἔτι ἔχομεν μαρτυρίας χρείαν?
what anymore ˱we˲_/are/_having ˱of˲_testimony need
The elders are using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate their words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “We have no further need for testimony!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τί ἔτι ἔχομεν μαρτυρίας χρείαν?
what anymore ˱we˲_/are/_having ˱of˲_testimony need
The implications are that no further testimony is needed to prove a charge of blasphemy. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “We have no further need for testimony to prove a charge of blasphemy!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἔχομεν & αὐτοὶ & ἠκούσαμεν
˱we˲_/are/_having & ourselves & ˱we˲_heard_‹it›
The elders are speaking to one another about themselves, so we and ourselves would be exclusive, if your language marks that form.
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἠκούσαμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
ourselves for ˱we˲_heard_‹it› from the mouth ˱of˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you put this phrase before the previous phrase, as UST does, since this phrase gives the reason for the conclusion that the previous phrase states.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἠκούσαμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
˱we˲_heard_‹it› from the mouth ˱of˲_him
The elders are using the expression his own mouth to refer to what Jesus has just said using his mouth. Alternate translation: “we … have heard what he just said”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
αὐτοὶ & ἠκούσαμεν ἀπὸ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
ourselves & ˱we˲_heard_‹it› from the mouth ˱of˲_him
The implications are that what Jesus has just said proves a charge of blasphemy by itself, because Jesus has claimed to be equal with God. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “we ourselves have heard him say that he is equal with God”
22:71 Why do we need other witnesses? The high council regarded Jesus’ confirmation that he was both the Messiah and the Son of God as a blasphemous claim and thus as proof of his guilt.

OET (OET-RV) “Why would we need any more witnesses than this?” they asked, “because we heard it ourselves straight out of his mouth.”
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.
