SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:66–23:25: Leaders put Jesus on trial and condemned him to die

Luke indicates that Jesus had several trials. These trials can also be considered to be several parts of the same trial. Luke recorded the details of four of these trials. The chart here lists them according to who was leading at each trial:

22:66–71	the Jewish council
23:1–5	Pilate
23:6–12	Herod
23:13–25	Pilate again

In all of Jesus’ trials, there was no one who could prove that Jesus had broken any law of God or man. However, even though he had not done anything wrong, the Roman governor Pilate sentenced him to die on a cross.

The Notes suggest a section heading for each of the trials in the chart. However, you may decide to have one heading for Section Group 22:66–23:25 like the one suggested in the Section Group box above. Another example of a heading for this section group is:

The leaders tried and condemned Jesus

22:68

And if I ask you a question, you will not answer.

And if I ask you^(plur) a question, you will not answer me.
But if I ask you^(plur) what your question means, you will not answer.
Also if I ask you^(plur) a question about the Messiah/Christ, you will not answer it.

if I ask you a question: Jesus did not say what questions the council members would not answer. So it is good to translate the clause if I ask you in a general way. For example:

if I ask you a question (NLT)

if I question you (NRSV)

However, in some languages a general translation may imply a wrong meaning here. It is likely that Jesus referred to questions about what they knew or believed about the Messiah, as in 20:41, 44. They did not answer when he asked them that question.

If it is necessary to supply implied information, phrase it in a general way. For example:

if I ask you a question about this

if I ask you anything about the Messiah

you will not answer: In Greek the statement you will not answer is emphatic. They would certainly not answer him. Other ways to translate this are:

you will not answer me (JBP)

you would not answer anywayKankanaey back translation on TW.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἐὰν δὲ ἐρωτήσω, οὐ μὴ ἀποκριθῆτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν δέ ἐρωτήσω οὒ μή ἀποκριθῆτε)

Jesus is using a further hypothetical situation to avoid answering the question directly, in order not to give the elders a reason to say that he was guilty of blasphemy. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [And suppose I asked you whether you thought I was the Messiah. Then you would certainly not tell me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐὰν & ἐρωτήσω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν δέ ἐρωτήσω οὒ μή ἀποκριθῆτε)

The implicit meaning is that Jesus would question them about whether they thought he was the Messiah. Alternate translation: [suppose I asked you whether you thought I was the Messiah]
