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

23:4a

Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds,

¶ Then Pilate said to the leaders of the priests and to the people,
¶ After Pilate questioned Jesus, he told the leading priests and the other people who were there,

Then: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as Then can be translated in several ways, including “then,” “and,” or “but.” The context implies that some time passed between 23:3 and 23:4. During this time, Pilate probably asked Jesus more questions.The parallel passage in John tells more about what Pilate and Jesus said to each other. The passages in Matthew and Mark also imply that Pilate asked Jesus more questions. In some languages it may be necessary to indicate that some time passed. For example:

After that

When Pilate finished asking Jesus questions

Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds: This clause introduces what Pilate decided after he questioned Jesus. Pilate told this decision publicly to all the people who were gathered there.

Another way to introduce his words are:

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd (NIV)

the chief priests and the crowds: The chief priests and the crowds are mentioned here for the first time in this chapter. The chief priests were important members of the Jewish council. The phrase the crowds probably implies that many people had gathered there to see what was happening. Introduce them here in a natural way in your language. Some ways to do that in English are:

the chief priests and all the many other people who had gathered there

the leading priests and other Jewish council members and to the many other people who had come. He said

Introduce the statement in a natural way in your language.

chief priests: The term chief priests occurred in 22:66. You should translate it in the same way here. For more information and translation advice, see the note at 19:47b–d.

23:4b

“I find no basis for a charge against this man.”

“I did not discover any reason to charge/accuse this man.”
“I see/perceive no reason to say that this man is guilty of a crime.”

I find no basis for a charge against this man: In Greek this clause is more literally, “I find no cause/basis in this man.” It indicates that Pilate did not discover any reason to condemn Jesus. Pilate had questioned Jesus and decided that Jesus was not guilty.

Some other ways to translate the clause are:

I find no reason to condemn this man. (GNT)

I find no basis for an accusation against this man. (NET)

The word no is emphasized in the clause. It indicates that there was no basis at all for a charge against Jesus. Another way to emphasize it in English is:

There is no cause that I have heard/seen to charge this man.

Emphasize Pilate’s conclusion in a natural way in your language.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

καὶ τοὺς ὄχλους

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Πιλᾶτος εἶπεν πρός τούς ἀρχιερεῖς καί τούς ὄχλους οὐδέν Εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ)

Luke uses this phrase subtly within the narrative to introduce these new characters into the story. Alternate translation: [and to the crowds that had gathered there]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐδὲν εὑρίσκω αἴτιον ἐν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τούτῳ

Pilate means implicitly no cause to convict Jesus of a crime and punish him. Alternate translation: [I do not find this man to be guilty of anything] or [I find no grounds for conviction in this man’s case]
