OET (OET-RV) “You have no authority over me,” Yeshua answered, “none at all, except what has been granted to you from above. Because of this, the sin of the person who handed me over to you is greater.”
OET-LV Yaʸsous answered to_him:
You_were_ not _having authority against me not_one, except not/lest was having_been_given to_you from_above.
Because_of this the one having_given_ me _over to_you, is_having greater sin.

19:1-16 Jesus was also beaten after his sentencing (Mark 15:15), but here John records an earlier beating, which was likely Pilate’s attempt to show that Jesus had been punished and could be released (John 19:4). When this failed, Pilate passed his sentence and handed Jesus over to the Jewish leaders for crucifixion (19:16).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατ’ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν, εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
not ˱you˲_/were/_having authority against me not_one except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
If this double negative would be misunderstood in your language, you could translate it as a positive statement. Alternate translation: “You only have authority over me because that authority has been given to you from above”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
Here, above is used to refer to God who dwells in heaven above. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “from heaven”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
εἰ μὴ ἦν δεδομένον σοι ἄνωθεν
except ¬not/lest was /having_been/_given ˱to˲_you from_above
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “except for what God has given to you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει
greater sin /is/_having
Jesus is 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 context. Alternate translation: “has a greater sin than your sin”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μείζονα ἁμαρτίαν ἔχει
greater sin /is/_having
Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess in varying amounts. If this use of sin might be misunderstood in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “are more sinful” or “has committed worse sin”
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.
