˱of˲_many ˓having˒_approached false_witnesses
Matthew describes something that is unexpected in a situation where the Jewish council did not find any good evidence against Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that is unexpected. Alternate translation: [despite the fact that many false witnesses approached]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὕστερον
later
The word later indicates that these two witnesses approached the council after the many false witnesses described in the previous sentence. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [after all those false witnesses,]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
δύο
two
Matthew is using the number two as a noun to mean two people. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [two witnesses]

OET (OET-RV) but even though many people wanted to try, they couldn’t find anyone suitable. Eventually, two people came up
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
