the Messiah the King ˱of˲_Israel /let/_come_down now from the cross in_order_that ˱we˲_/may/_see and ˱we˲_/may/_believe
Here the Jewish leaders use what they think is an imaginary situation to prove that Jesus is not really the Christ, the King of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [Imagine he really were the Christ, the King of Israel. In that case, he should come down now from the cross so that we might see and might believe] or [If he is the Christ, the King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross. Then, we will see and believe]
Here the Jewish leaders mock Jesus by speaking about him as if he were the Christ, the King of Israel when they do not believe that he actually is. They actually mean to communicate the opposite of the literal meaning of their words, as Mark indicated when he says that they mocked Jesus (see 15:31). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that indicates that this is irony. Alternate translation: [Let the so-called Christ, the King of Israel, come down] or [He calls himself the Christ, the King of Israel. Let him come down]
If your language does not use the third-person imperative in this way, you could state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [The Christ, the King of Israel, must come down]
Here the Jewish leaders imply that they might see Jesus coming down from the cross and then they might believe that he really is the Christ, the King of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make those ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [we might see him come down and might believe that he really is the Christ]
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was the soldiers. Alternate translation: [whom Pilate’s soldiers were crucifying]
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.
