Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:66–23:25: Leaders put Jesus on trial and condemned him to die

Luke indicates that Jesus had several trials. These trials can also be considered to be several parts of the same trial. Luke recorded the details of four of these trials. The chart here lists them according to who was leading at each trial:

22:66–71	the Jewish council
23:1–5	Pilate
23:6–12	Herod
23:13–25	Pilate again

In all of Jesus’ trials, there was no one who could prove that Jesus had broken any law of God or man. However, even though he had not done anything wrong, the Roman governor Pilate sentenced him to die on a cross.

The Notes suggest a section heading for each of the trials in the chart. However, you may decide to have one heading for Section Group 22:66–23:25 like the one suggested in the Section Group box above. Another example of a heading for this section group is:

The leaders tried and condemned Jesus

23:1a

Then the whole council rose

¶ Then all the high court/council of the Jewish people stood/got up
¶ Then all the council members

23:1b

and led Jesus away to Pilate.

and took Jesus to Governor Pilate.
led/brought Jesus to the Roman governor, whose name was Pilate.

23:1a–b

Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate: This clause tells what the council members did after they decided that Jesus was guilty in 22:71. They took Jesus to Pilate. The word rose emphasizes that action. It is used in a similar way in 4:29, where the BSB translates it as “got up.” Another way to translate the clause is:

Then the entire assembly stood up and took him to Pilate. (GW)

In some languages there may be an idiom to translate this. For example:

Then they all jumped to their feet and took him away to Pilate.

In some languages it may not be natural to use a verb like rose or “stood” here, since it is already implied by the next action. For example:

Then the entire council took Jesus to Pilate (NLT)

Translate the statement in a natural way in your language.

the whole council: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the whole council is literally “the whole crowd of them.” It refers to the entire group that was present in 22:71. This group was the Jewish council (Sanhedrin). It included all the Jewish leaders who were at the meeting in 22:66.

Refer back to the council in 22:71 in a natural way in your language. You should not imply that Luke referred to a different assembly here. For example:

Then the whole group of them (NET)

Then they allKankanaey back translation on TW.

led Jesus away to Pilate: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as led Jesus away to Pilate is more literally “led/brought him before Pilate.” In this context, the members of the council led Jesus to Pilate so that Pilate would judge him. Use a natural phrase in your language to indicate this. Other ways to translate this phrase are:

brought Jesus before Pilate (NRSV)

took Jesus to Governor Pilate so that he might judge himWestern Bukidnon Manobo back translation on TW.

Pilate: The name Pilate refers here to Pontius Pilate, who was the Roman governor of the district of Judea. He was mentioned along with his title in 3:1. It may be helpful to include this title here. For example:

Governor Pilate

Pilate, the Roman governor (NLT)

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-sequential

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀναστάν ἅπαν τό πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τόν Πιλᾶτον)

Luke uses the word And to indicate that this event came after the events he has just described. Alternate translation (as in UST): [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος αὐτῶν

all (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀναστάν ἅπαν τό πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τόν Πιλᾶτον)

The word whole is a generalization. Luke says in [23:51](../23/51.md) that at least one member of the Sanhedrin did not agree that Jesus was guilty of blasphemy and should be punished. Alternate translation: [the many members of the ruling council who wanted to condemn Jesus]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἀναστὰν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀναστάν ἅπαν τό πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τόν Πιλᾶτον)

This means literally that they “stood up” or “stood to their feet,” but by extension it means that they adjourned the meeting and left the meeting place. Alternate translation: [ending the meeting]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐπὶ τὸν Πειλᾶτον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἀναστάν ἅπαν τό πλῆθος αὐτῶν ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τόν Πιλᾶτον)

The implication is that the Jewish leaders brought Jesus to Pilate because they wanted Pilate to judge him. Alternate translation: [to Pilate so that Pilate would judge him]

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.
