OET (OET-LV) The Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) spoke all these things in parables to_the crowds, and he_was_speaking nothing to_them without a_parable,

OET (OET-RV) Yeshua told all these things to the crowds in the form of parables. In fact he said nothing that wasn’t a parable,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:31–35: Jesus told the parables of the mustard seed and the yeast

In this section, Jesus told two parables: the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast. These parables show something about the growth and size of God’s kingdom.

The parable about the mustard seed shows that God’s kingdom will grow from a very small beginning to a very large size. The size of God’s kingdom represents the number of people in the kingdom.

The parable of the yeast shows that God’s kingdom will spread throughout the world.

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 4:30–32 and Luke 13:18–21.

13:34a

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables.

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowds in parables: The phrase all these things refers to the teachings about God’s kingdom. He used the parables in 13:1–33 to teach these things.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

Jesus used parables to tell all these things to the crowds (GNT)

Jesus spoke all those things about God’s kingdom in/using parables.

13:34b

He did not tell them anything without using a parable.

Verse 13:34b says the same thing as 13:34a, but in a negative way. This is a way to emphasize 13:34a. Some English versions introduce this emphatic statement with the word “indeed.”

Here is another way to introduce this emphatic statement:

In fact (NLT)

In some languages, it will be natural to simply begin a new sentence here, as the BSB does. For example:

34aJesus used illustrations to tell the crowds all these things. 34bHe did not tell them anything without illustrating it with a story. (GW)

He did not tell them anything without using a parable: This clause means the same thing as 13:34a, but it says it in a negative way. It means that Jesus did not talk to the people about the kingdom of God unless he used a parable. On later occasions, Jesus did not use parables. But during this part of his ministry, every time he taught about the kingdom of God, he used parables.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

he said nothing to them when/if it was not with/in parables

he did not say anything about the kingdom of heaven to them unless he used a parable

In some languages, it may be necessary to translate this clause as a positive statement. In this case, this clause will be very similar to 13:34a. For example:

34aJesus used stories to tell all these things to the people; 34bhe always used stories to teach them. (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

ταῦτα πάντα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὄχλοις, καὶ χωρὶς παραβολῆς οὐδὲν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς

these_‹things› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα παντᾶ ἐλάλησεν Ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὄχλοις καί χωρίς παραβολῆς οὐδέν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς)

This sentence marks the end of Jesus’ teaching by summarizing how Jesus taught the crowds. Use a natural form in your language for expressing the conclusion of a speech. Alternate translation: [Then Jesus stopped speaking to the crowds. He had spoken all those things in parables to them, and he was speaking nothing to them without a parable]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα πάντα

these_‹things› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα παντᾶ ἐλάλησεν Ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὄχλοις καί χωρίς παραβολῆς οὐδέν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς)

The phrase All these things is referring to the parables which Jesus just taught. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [All those teachings]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

χωρὶς παραβολῆς οὐδὲν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ταῦτα παντᾶ ἐλάλησεν Ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν παραβολαῖς τοῖς ὄχλοις καί χωρίς παραβολῆς οὐδέν ἐλάλει αὐτοῖς)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative word nothing and the negative preposition without. Alternate translation: [he was only speaking to them with a parable]
