* Jesus continues to tell the teachers of the law how they sin against God.
* **you have taken away the key of knowledge** - This is a metaphor. It means "you have prevented people from entering into the place where God's truth is stored." It can be translated as a simile as in the UDB. (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]], [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
* **you do not enter in yourselves** - "You yourselves do not go in in order to get knowledge." This metaphor means "You yourselves do make use of the knowledge." (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
