uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ

˱they˲_spat in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἐνέπτυσαν εἰς τό πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καί ἐκολάφισαν αὐτόν οἱ δέ ἐράπισαν)

In Jesus’ culture, people would spit in someone’s face to insult that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could explain what this action means. Alternate translation: [they spit in his face to dishonor him]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐνέπτυσαν & οἱ

˱they˲_spat & they

The pronouns they and they refer to people who were there. Matthew may be referring to some members of the Jewish council, some of the people that Peter was sitting with, and other people who were in or near the house of the high priest. If possible use a general word or phrase that refers to some of the people who were there. Alternate translation: [some people spit … they] or [some of those present spit … they]
