Note 1 topic: translate-symaction
διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ
tore the robes ˱of˲_him
In Jesus’ culture the act of tearing one’s clothes was a symbolic act done to show outrage or grief. If there is a gesture with a similar meaning in your culture, you could use it here in your translation, or you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: [tore his robes in outrage]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
λέγων
saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he declared]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ἔτι χρείαν ἔχομεν μαρτύρων?
why anymore need ˱we˲_/are/_having ˱of˲_witnesses
The high priest is using the question form to emphatically state that he thinks that they do not need more witnesses. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [We do not still have need of witnesses.] or [We certainly do not still have need of witnesses!]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
χρείαν & μαρτύρων
need & ˱of˲_witnesses
Here the high priest implies that they do not need more witnesses to prove that Jesus blasphemes. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [need of witnesses to prove that he blasphemes]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἴδε
behold
Here, the word Behold draws the attention of the Jewish council and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express Behold with a word or phrase that asks people to listen, or you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [See] or [Pay attention:]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν βλασφημίαν
the slander
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of blasphemy, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [him blaspheme] or [the blasphemous things he says]
26:65 Blasphemy! Caiaphas evidently understood Jesus’ claim to be the exalted Son of Man as a blasphemy against God’s majesty. The Son of Man (Dan 7:13-14) was closely associated with this majesty.
