SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:28–19:16a: Pilate investigated Jesus and decided that he should die

This section tells how the soldiers took Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate questioned Jesus to find out why the Jews wanted him to punish Jesus with death. He could find no reason to do that. But the Jewish leaders there insisted that Pilate crucify him. Finally, Pilate agreed that Jesus could be crucified.

Here are other possible section headings:

Pilate questioned the Jews and Jesus and sent Jesus to be crucified

Pilate investigated Jesus and decided that he could be punished with death

Jesus’ trial and judgment before Pilate

This section can be divided into seven smaller pieces, where each piece is a separate event. Jews often arranged written materials to include seven related pieces, where the first and last pieces relate, and the second and sixth relate, and the third and fifth relate. Then the middle piece, the fourth, stands alone and is emphasized. That happens in this section as well. Here is a chart showing the seven pieces of this section and how they relate:

18:28–32: Outside the house; Jews ask for Jesus’ death

18:33–38a: Inside the house; Pilate asks Jesus if he is King of the Jews

18:38b–40: Outside the house; Pilate says, “I find no case against him.”

19:1–3: The soldiers beat Jesus with a whip and pretend that he is the king of the Jews

19:4–8: Outside the house; Pilate says, “I find no case against him.”

19:8–11: Inside the house; Pilate asks Jesus where he came from

19:12–16a: Outside the house; Pilate allows Jews to crucify Jesus

The middle piece, 19:1–3, is different from all the other pieces. Pilate is only mentioned and is not an important person in this event. That is different from all the other pieces. This middle piece therefore is emphasized. The only ones who seem to worship Jesus in the whole section do so in this middle piece. However, they only pretend to worship and are very cruel as they mock Jesus.

In your translation, you may want to find ways to emphasize 19:1–3. Also, try to translate this section in ways that make it possible to see the connections between the pieces.

Paragraph 18:33–35

Pilate was trying to decide what to do with Jesus, so he asked him questions.

18:34

“Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”

Are you saying this on your own,” Jesus asked, “or did others tell you about Me?”: This question proposes two possibilities, and asks which one was true. Did Pilate ask the question because of his own thinking, or did he repeat what others said.

Are you saying this on your own…?: Jesus asked Pilate if he himself wondered if Jesus was the King of the Jews. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Is that your own idea…? (NIV)

Is this your own question…? (NLT)

Are you the one who thought of this question? (TH)

Jesus asked: In some languages it is more natural to say whose question Jesus was answering. For example:

Jesus answered Pilate

or did others tell you about Me?: This clause tells the second, alternative possibility. If Pilate himself did not wonder if Jesus was the King of the Jews, someone else must have mentioned it. It is implied that Jesus’ accusers (the others) had said that Jesus claimed to be the King of the Jews. Here are other ways to translate this possibility:

did others talk to you about me? (NIV)

have others suggested it to you? (REB)

In some languages it may be natural to translate this possibility with Pilate as the subject:

did you hear about me from others?

is this something that you heard from others?

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ σεαυτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς ἀπό σεαυτοῦ Σύ τοῦτο λέγεις ἤ ἄλλοι εἶπον σοί περί ἐμοῦ)

Here, from indicates the origin of Pilate’s question. Jesus is asking Pilate if the question Pilate asked in the previous verse was his own idea. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [based on your own idea] or [on your own initiative]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

18:1-40 After completing his farewell in the upper room (13:31–17:26), Jesus left the city and entered a garden just east of Jerusalem to pray. Here he was arrested, taken under guard into the city, and interrogated by the Jewish leaders. The climactic “time” that Jesus referred to repeatedly throughout the Gospel (see 2:4; see also study note on 12:23) was now at hand.
