OET interlinear MARK 15:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Here, the word But introduces how the chief priests and elders were trying to have Jesus executed in contrast to Pilate, who wanted to release Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: [In contrast,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀνέσεισαν

stirred_up

Mark speaks of the chief priests as if they had stirred a pot and put into motion things that had been lying quietly on the bottom. Mark means that the chief priests encouraged the crowd to ask Pilate to release Barabbas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [influenced] or [incited]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἵνα & ἀπολύσῃ

in_order_that & ˱he˲_/may/_send_away

Here Mark implies that the crowd would ask or demand that Pilate release Barabbas. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [so that they would demand that he release]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μᾶλλον

rather

Here Mark implies that they asked for Barabbas instead of Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [instead of releasing Jesus]
