SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 23:26–43: Soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross

In this section the Roman soldiers did what their commander Pontius Pilate had ordered them to do. They led Jesus outside the town to the place where they crucified criminals. There they nailed Jesus on a cross. They did the same to two other men, who were criminals. Then they made the three men hang there until they died. The Jewish leaders, the soldiers, and even one of the criminals mocked Jesus. But the other criminal believed in him.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The Crucifixion (NIV)

Jesus Is Nailed to a Cross (CEV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 27:31–44, Mark 15:21–32, and John 19:17–27.

23:36a

The soldiers also mocked Him and came up

The soldiers also mocked/ridiculed Jesus, coming close to him
The soldiers also made fun of Jesus. They brought

The soldiers also mocked Him and came up: In Greek this clause is more literally, “And the soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching.” It indicates that the soldiers also mocked Jesus, as the leaders did in 23:35. The phrase came up means “came to, approached.” It indicates that they came to Jesus. Several English versions supply the word up because it is natural here in English.

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him (KJV)

The soldiers also made fun of him. They approachedKankanaey back translation on TW.

The soldiers joined in the mockery and came forward (REB)

mocked: The word mocked indicates that they ridiculed Jesus. They insulted him with both words and actions. Some other ways to translate this word are:

ridiculed him

made fun of him (GW)

The same Greek word was used in 22:63b and 23:11b. You can translate it in the same or a similar way here.

23:36b

to offer Him sour wine.

and offering him wine/vinegar,
cheap/sour wine and told him to drink some.
vinegar and said, “Drink/Take^(sing) some of this!”

to offer Him sour wine: This clause implies that the soldiers took the wine vinegar to Jesus and offered it to him. It is not clear whether they actually gave it to him. Since his arms were nailed to the cross, he could not reach out and take it. They may have dipped a sponge in the wine vinegar and offered it to him, as one person did in Mark 15.

In this context the soldiers offered Jesus wine vinegar as a way to mock him. Psalm 69:21 says, “For my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.”

In some languages it may be more natural to use direct speech for the soldiers’ offer. For example:

They brought wine vinegar and said to him, “Drink some.”

sour wine: Scholars are not sure exactly what this sour wine was. It may have been a cheap sort of sour wine. The term may have referred to a drink made from vinegar, water, and egg. Some ways to translate it here are:

cheap wine (GNT)

sour wine (NLT)

some vinegar (GW)

˱they˲_mocked (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐνέπαιξαν Δέ αὐτῷ καί οἱ στρατιῶται προσερχόμενοι ὄξος προσφέροντες αὐτῷ)

Luke does not say specifically in what way the soliders mocked Jesus by offering him vinegar, that is, the sour wine that was their common drink. This could mean: (1) since Luke records in the next verse that the soldiers spoke of Jesus being the “king of the Jews,” the common drink may have been intended to show that they did not really believe he was a king, since a king would have drunk fine wine. Alternate translation: [Then the soldiers also mocked him by coming and offering him cheap sour wine, which was not what a real king would drink] (2) the soldiers may have mocked Jesus just by offering him something to drink, but then not giving it to him, even though he would have been very thirsty. Alternate translation: [Then the soldiers also mocked him by coming and offering him some of their sour wine but then not giving him any to drink]

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.
