Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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

23:19

In this verse Luke gave background information about Barabbas. He continued the main story in 23:20. That is why the BSB puts 23:19 in parentheses. The RSV uses a dash to separate this verse from 23:18. Use a natural way in your language to show that 23:19 is background information.

23:19a

(Barabbas had been imprisoned

Barabbas was imprisoned/confined
They/Soldiers had put Barabbas in prison
Barabbas was in prison/jail

Barabbas had been imprisoned: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as had been imprisoned is an idiom that means “was put in prison.” The clause is passive. In some languages it may be more natural to translate it without using a passive verb. For example:

Barabbas was in prison (NLT)

If you must indicate who put Barabbas in prison, use an appropriate subject in your language. For example:

Officers had put Barabbas in prison

Pilate’s men had imprisoned Barabbas

23:19b

for an insurrection in the city,

for fighting in a riot/revolt that had occurred/happened in the city of Jerusalem,
because he had rioted with others in Jerusalem

23:19c

and for murder.)

and for murdering/killing someone.
and because he had murdered someone.

23:19b–c

for an insurrection in the city, and for murder: The phrases for an insurrection in the city and for murder tell the reasons why Barabbas was put in prison. The phrase for an insurrection probably indicates here that Barabbas fought along with other people against the government. This fight happened in the city of Jerusalem. It is not clear whether Barabbas started this fight or whether he was just one of the fighters. He also murdered someone. Another way to translate these reasons are:

because of his part in an insurrection/rebellion in the city and because he committed murder

because he fought in a riot in the city and he murdered someone

an insurrection in the city: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as an insurrection in the city literally means “a riot/rebellion that happened in the city.” The word insurrection implies that men were fighting against the government.See BDAG (p. 940) stasis, meaning 2: “movement toward a (new) state of affairs, uprising, riot, revolt, rebellion….against the civil authority….” It is likely that these men were Jews who were fighting against Roman soldiers. Those soldiers probably worked for the Roman government in the city of Jerusalem.

Some other ways to translate the phrase an insurrection in the city are:

he and others in the city fought against the government

a riot in Jerusalem

murder: The word murder indicates here that Barabbas unlawfully killed someone.

General Comment on 23:19a–c

In this verse 23:19b–c is the reason for 23:19a. In some languages it may be more natural to put the reason at the beginning of the verse. For example:

^19bBarabbas had taken part in a riot in the city ^19cand had murdered someone. ^19aThat is why he was put in prison.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

ὅστις ἦν διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ φόνον, βληθεὶς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅστις ἦν διά στάσιν τινά γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καί φόνον βληθείς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ)

Luke provides this background information to explain to his readers who Barabbas was. Alternate translation: [Now Barabbas was a man whom the Romans had put in prison because he had led a rebellion in Jerusalem and he had killed people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὅστις ἦν & βληθεὶς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅστις ἦν διά στάσιν τινά γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καί φόνον βληθείς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: [The Romans had put him in prison]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ στάσιν τινὰ γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ὅστις ἦν διά στάσιν τινά γενομένην ἐν τῇ πόλει καί φόνον βληθείς ἐν τῇ φυλακῇ)

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly that Barabbas led this rebellion against the Roman government. Alternate translation: [because he had led a rebellion in Jerusalem against the Roman government]

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.
