OET interlinear MAT 22:46

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ λόγον

˓to˒_answer ˱to˲_him ˓a˒_word

Matthew is using the term word to mean something spoken in words. The phrase answer him a word refers to using words to answer Jesus’ question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to give an answer] or [to answer him in any way]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

οὐδὲ ἐτόλμησέν τις ἀπ’ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτὸν οὐκέτι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί οὐδείς ἐδύνατο ἀποκριθῆναι αὐτῷ λόγον οὐδέ ἐτόλμησεν τὶς ἀπʼ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας ἐπερωτῆσαι αὐτόν οὐκέτι)

The words translated as nor and any longer are two negative words. In this construction, the second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning. Instead, it gives greater emphasis to the negative. If your language can use two negatives that do not cancel one another to create a positive meaning, you could use a double negative here. If your language does not use two negatives in that way, you could translate with one negative, as the ULT does. Alternate translation: [and people no longer dared from that day to question him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀπ’ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας

from that ¬the day

The phrase from that day indicates that nobody questioned Jesus after he said what Matthew recorded in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [starting right then] or [from that moment on]
