OET interlinear MARK 15:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀναβὰς

/having/_gone_up

Here Mark indicates that the crowd walked up to where Pilate was. Most likely, this place was on top of a hill in the city of Jerusalem. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “having come up to the place where Pilate was” or “having walked up a hill to Pilate”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἀναβὰς

/having/_gone_up

In a context such as this, your language might say “gone” instead of come. Alternate translation: “having gone up”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

ἀναβὰς

/having/_gone_up

Some ancient manuscripts read having come up. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “having cried out.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἰτεῖσθαι καθὼς

/to_be/_requesting as

Here Mark implies that the crowd asked Pilate to release a prisoner, just as he usually did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “to request that he release a prisoner, just as”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐποίει

˱he˲_/was/_doing

Here Mark refers to what Pilate normally or customarily did. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “he customarily did” or “it was his custom to do”
