23:2 The religious charges against Jesus were now replaced by political ones in order to gain a Roman conviction. Pilate was only interested in what concerned Rome. The Jewish charge of blasphemy would not be sufficient, so the council had to show that Jesus was a danger to Rome. They accused Jesus of inciting insurrection against Roman taxation and claiming to be a king. All but the last charge were false.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ
/to_be/_accusing ˱against˲_him
The chief priests and scribes accused Jesus of doing wrong things because they wanted Pilate to kill Jesus. But they were accusing him falsely, because Jesus had never done what they accused him of doing. For example, in 20:25, Jesus had specifically said that the Jews could pay taxes to the Roman government. To make sure that your readers are not confused, you could state explicitly that these accusations were false. Alternate translation: “to accuse him falsely”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
εὕρομεν & τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν
˱we˲_found & the nation ˱of˲_us
The terms We and our refer only the members of the Jewish ruling council who are speaking, not to Pilate or any of the other people nearby. So in your translation, use the exclusive forms of these words, if your language marks that distinction.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
διαστρέφοντα τὸ ἔθνος ἡμῶν
perverting the nation ˱of˲_us
The Jewish leaders speak of Jesus as if he were a guide who was leading someone in the wrong direction. Alternate translation: “encouraging our people to do things that are wrong”
κωλύοντα φόρους & διδόναι
forbidding taxes & /to_be/_giving
Alternate translation: “telling them not to pay taxes”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
Καίσαρι
˱to˲_Caesar
See how you translated Caesar in 20:22. The Jewish leaders are referring to the Roman government by Caesar’s name, since he was its ruler. Alternate translation: “to the Roman government”
