SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 18:28–19:16a: Pilate investigated Jesus and decided that he should die

This section tells how the soldiers took Jesus to the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate questioned Jesus to find out why the Jews wanted him to punish Jesus with death. He could find no reason to do that. But the Jewish leaders there insisted that Pilate crucify him. Finally, Pilate agreed that Jesus could be crucified.

Here are other possible section headings:

Pilate questioned the Jews and Jesus and sent Jesus to be crucified

Pilate investigated Jesus and decided that he could be punished with death

Jesus’ trial and judgment before Pilate

This section can be divided into seven smaller pieces, where each piece is a separate event. Jews often arranged written materials to include seven related pieces, where the first and last pieces relate, and the second and sixth relate, and the third and fifth relate. Then the middle piece, the fourth, stands alone and is emphasized. That happens in this section as well. Here is a chart showing the seven pieces of this section and how they relate:

18:28–32: Outside the house; Jews ask for Jesus’ death

18:33–38a: Inside the house; Pilate asks Jesus if he is King of the Jews

18:38b–40: Outside the house; Pilate says, “I find no case against him.”

19:1–3: The soldiers beat Jesus with a whip and pretend that he is the king of the Jews

19:4–8: Outside the house; Pilate says, “I find no case against him.”

19:8–11: Inside the house; Pilate asks Jesus where he came from

19:12–16a: Outside the house; Pilate allows Jews to crucify Jesus

The middle piece, 19:1–3, is different from all the other pieces. Pilate is only mentioned and is not an important person in this event. That is different from all the other pieces. This middle piece therefore is emphasized. The only ones who seem to worship Jesus in the whole section do so in this middle piece. However, they only pretend to worship and are very cruel as they mock Jesus.

In your translation, you may want to find ways to emphasize 19:1–3. Also, try to translate this section in ways that make it possible to see the connections between the pieces.

Paragraph 19:4–7

Pilate told the Jewish religious leaders that he thought that Jesus was innocent and planned to free him. But they protested and shouted to Pilate to crucify Jesus.

19:4a

Once again Pilate came out and said to the Jews,

¶ Again Pilate went out of his house and said to the crowd/people,
¶ Again Pilate went outside to the Jewish leaders. He said to them,

Once again Pilate came out: Pilate again went out of his house to where the Jewish leaders were waiting outside the gate to his courtyard. See 18:29 and 18:38 for the times that he did this earlier.

Once again: Pilate repeated his action of going out of his house. The words he then spoke were different from what he said before. In your translation, the words Once again should refer to what Pilate did (“went out”) and not to what he said.

and said to the Jews: The phrase the Jews is the pronoun “they” in Greek. Here it refers to the Jews who were accusing Jesus and had gathered at the gate. This was mainly the Jewish chief priests and other religious leaders. However, it also included some ordinary Jewish people such as servants and guards. These were the same people that 18:28–29 and 18:38 mentioned.

19:4b

“Look, I am bringing Him out to you

“See, I will bring Jesus here now before you^(plur)
“Listen, I am going to show/display to you this man.

Look: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Look is often used to call attention to and emphasize the following word or words. See, for example, 1:29. In some translations it is left implicit here (NLT, GW, CEV). Here is another way to translate this word:

Here he is (REB)

I am bringing Him out to you: The Greek text implies that Pilate commanded the soldiers to bring Jesus to where the Jews could see him. In some languages it may be natural to use a verb form that indicates that Pilate caused this to happen. He did not do it himself. For example:

I am causing Jesus to come out to you

I have commanded that my soldiers bring Jesus out to you

Him: The pronoun Him refers to Jesus.

19:4c

to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

to tell/show you^(plur) that I find that he has not committed any crime.”
I want you to understand that I see no reason to accuse him of anything.”

to let you know: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as to let you know is more literally “so that you may know.” This is the purpose of Pilate bringing Jesus out. Pilate wanted to make sure that the crowd understood that he believed Jesus to be innocent of any crime. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

that you may know (ESV)

to cause you to understand

to make it clear/plain to you

I find no basis for a charge against Him: Pilate was again declaring that Jesus was not guilty. He could discover no reason to condemn him to death. He used the same expression as in 18:38. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I find him not guilty (NLT)

I cannot find a reason for judging him (Yakan Back Translation)

I cannot find any reason to condemn him (GNT)

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

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.
