OET interlinear MAT 27:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας

Jesus /having/_flogged

Here Matthew implies that Pilate had his soldiers flog Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [having commanded his soldiers to flog Jesus]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

τὸν & Ἰησοῦν φραγελλώσας

¬the & Jesus /having/_flogged

Flogging was a Roman penalty in which soldiers whipped a person with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal to increase the whip’s capacity to do harm to the person being flogged. If your readers would not be familiar with this form of punishment, you could explain explicitly what flogging was. Alternate translation: [having whipped Jesus with a whip to which were attached pieces of bone and metal]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παρέδωκεν

˱he˲_gave_over_‹him›

Here Matthew implies that Pilate handed Jesus over to his soldiers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [he handed him over to his soldiers]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

σταυρωθῇ

˱he˲_/may_be/_crucified

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who would do the action, it is clear from the context that it would be Pilate’s soldiers. Alternate translation: [the soldiers might crucify him]
