UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

συνεβουλεύσαντο

˱they˲_plotted_together

Here, the phrase took counsel together indicates that the chief priests and elders were working together to figure something out. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. See how you expressed the similar phrase in 22:15. Alternate translation: “they made plans together” or “they came up with ideas together”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

δόλῳ

˱by˲_deceit

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of deceit, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “deceitfully” or “cleverly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀποκτείνωσιν

˱they˲_/may/_kill_off_‹him›

Here Matthew implies that the chief priests and elders would have other people kill Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “have him killed”
