UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄλλους ἔσωσεν

others ˱he˲_saved

In context, the Jewish leaders are implicitly referring to how Jesus saved others by healing their diseases, releasing them from demon-possession, and saving them from other physical problems. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “He saved others by curing or exorcising them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἄλλους

others

The Jewish leaders are using the adjective others as a noun to mean other people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “other men and women”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

Βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ ἐστιν, καταβάτω νῦν ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ, καὶ πιστεύσομεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν

King ˱of˲_Israel ˱he˲_is ˱him˲_/let/_come_down now from the cross and ˱we˲_/will_be/_believing in him

Here the Jewish leaders use what they think is an imaginary situation to prove that Jesus is not really the King of Israel. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: “Imagine he really were the King of Israel. In that case, he should come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him” or “If he is the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. Then, we will believe in him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

Βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ ἐστιν

King ˱of˲_Israel ˱he˲_is

Here the Jewish leaders mock Jesus by speaking about him as if he were the King of Israel when they do not believe that he actually is. They actually mean to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of their words, as Matthew indicated when he says that they mocked him (see 27:41). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that this is irony. Alternate translation: “He is the so-called King of Israel” or “He thinks he is the King of Israel”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative3p

καταβάτω

˱him˲_/let/_come_down

If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “He must come down”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / go

καταβάτω

˱him˲_/let/_come_down

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “Let him go down”
