UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how the chief priests and elders were trying to have Jesus executed in contrast to Pilate’s wife, who wanted Pilate to have nothing to do with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “In contrast,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἰτήσωνται τὸν Βαραββᾶν

˱they˲_/may/_request ¬the Barabbas

Here Matthew means that the crowds were going to ask Pilate to release Barabbas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “they would ask Pilate to release Barabbas”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν δὲ Ἰησοῦν ἀπολέσωσιν

¬the ¬the and Jesus ˱they˲_/may/_destroy

Here Matthew implies that the crowds were going to pressure Pilate to destroy Jesus by executing him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “but would demand that Jesus be killed”
