Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
ἐκραύγασαν & πάλιν λέγοντες
˱they˲_cried_out & again saying
Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “they cried out again and said”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μὴ τοῦτον, ἀλλὰ τὸν Βαραββᾶν
not this_‹one› but ¬the Barabbas
The Jewish leaders are leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Do not release this one, but release Barabbas”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦτον
this_‹one›
Here the Jewish leaders say this one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus without saying his name. If your language has a similar way to refer to someone in an indirect but derogatory manner, you may use it here. Alternate translation: “this so-and-so”
Note 4 topic: writing-background
ἦν δὲ ὁ Βαραββᾶς λῃστής
was and ¬the Barabbas /a/_robber
In this sentence John provides background information about Barabbas. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.
λῃστής
/a/_robber
The word usually translated robber can also refer to an insurrectionist, as is indicated by the description of Barabbas in Mark 15:7. Alternate translation: “an insurrectionist”
Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19
On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
