OET interlinear MAT 22:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκριθεὶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀποκριθείς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν εἶπεν ἐν παραβολαῖς αὐτοῖς λέγων)

The word answering indicates that Jesus is responding to how the chief priests and the Pharisees wanted to arrest him (see 21:45–46). He is not responding to something that they said to him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [responding to what they wanted to do] or [in response]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτοῖς

˱to˲_them

The pronoun them refers to the chief priests, the elders, and the Pharisees, with whom Jesus has been talking. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [to the chief priests, the elders, and the Pharisees] or [to the Jewish leaders]

Note 3 topic: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he declared]
