Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

5:33 John the Baptist’s disciples: Most rabbis had students who learned from them and served them (see also Acts 19:1-7).
• fast and pray regularly: Many pious Jews fasted two days a week (Luke 18:12). Fasting was associated with spiritual preparation (Esth 4:16) and repentance (2 Sam 12:22; Joel 1:14; Jon 3:5). Fasting is not a means of righteousness (Isa 58:4-5; Jer 14:12) but a spiritual discipline for cultivating intimacy with God. Fasting is often linked with prayer and spiritual retreat.
• Why are your disciples always eating and drinking? The point was that they did not fast regularly.

οἱ δὲ εἶπαν
they and said
The pronoun they refers to the Pharisees and scribes. Alternate translation: “Then the religious leaders said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
Ἰωάννου

οἱ δὲ σοὶ ἐσθίουσιν καὶ πίνουσιν
they and the the_‹ones› the_‹ones› but ˱to˲_yours /are/_eating and /are/_drinking

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
ἐσθίουσιν καὶ πίνουσιν
/are/_eating and /are/_drinking
The Pharisees are using the two components of a meal to mean an entire meal. Alternate translation: “continue to have meals”
