OET interlinear MARK 15:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ λέγει

¬the the he (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν ὁ Πιλᾶτος σύ Εἶ ὁ Βασιλεύς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς αὐτῷ λέγει Σύ λέγεις)

Together the two words answering and says mean that Jesus responded to what Pilate asked him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [But he responded to him] or [But he said to him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

σὺ λέγεις

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπηρώτησεν αὐτόν ὁ Πιλᾶτος σύ Εἶ ὁ Βασιλεύς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὁ Δέ ἀποκριθείς αὐτῷ λέγει Σύ λέγεις)

Here, the phrase You say it indicates that the speaker acknowledges the truth of what the other person said. Jesus uses this phrase to indirectly indicate that Pilate is right to suggest that Jesus is the King of the Jews. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that gives an indirect positive response to a request. If necessary, you could express the idea more directly, as the UST does. Alternate translation: [That is what you say] or [Your words show what is true]
