Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

13:10 From this point on, Jesus rarely taught the general public. Instead, he focused on teaching those who had committed themselves to him (13:1–20:34), though he would once again confront Israel (21:1–23:39).
• The people were the unbelieving opponents mentioned again in 13:11 (“others”) and 13:12 (“those who are not listening”).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
εἶπαν αὐτῷ, διὰ τί ἐν παραβολαῖς λαλεῖς αὐτοῖς?
said ˱to˲_him for_reason why in parables ˱you˲_/are/_speaking ˱to˲_them
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [asked him for what reason he spoke to them in parables.]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
λαλεῖς
˱you˲_/are/_speaking
Here, the word you is singular since the disciples are speaking to Jesus.
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτοῖς
˱to˲_them
The pronoun them refers to the “crowd” that was standing on the shore of the sea to listen to Jesus (see 13:2). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: [to the crowd]
