OET interlinear MAT 16:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς οὐ νοεῖτε, ὅτι οὐ περὶ ἄρτων εἶπον ὑμῖν?

how not ˱you_all˲_/are/_understanding that not concerning /the/_loaves ˱I˲_spoke ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You do not perceive that I did not speak to you about loaves!] or [I am disappointed that you do not perceive that I did not speak to you about loaves.]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what Jesus really wants to say about yeast in contrast to simply speaking about bread. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [Rather,]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

the leaven ˱of˲_the Pharisees and Sadducees

Here, just as in 16:6, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe yeast that the Pharisees and Sadducees have or use. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the yeast that the Pharisees and Sadducees have]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων

the leaven ˱of˲_the Pharisees and Sadducees

Here, just as in 16:6, yeast is a metaphor that refers to what the Pharisees and Sadducees teach. However, the disciples did not immediately understand that Jesus was using a metaphor; instead, they do not realize what yeast refers to until 16:12. So, you should preserve the metaphor here without explaining its meaning, since Matthew will give an explanation in 16:12.
