Jesus Taken to Pilate
1 And as soon as morning came, after#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the participle (“formulating”) which is understood as temporal formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation away, and handed him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation over to Pilate. 2And Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” And he answered him and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“answered”) has been translated as a finite verb said, “You say so.” 3And the chief priests began to accuse#The imperfect tense has been translated as ingressive here (“began to accuse”) him of many things. 4So Pilate asked him again, saying, “Do you not answer anything? See how many charges#*The word “charges” is not in the Greek text but is implied they are bringing against you!” 5But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished.
Pilate Releases Barabbas
6Now at each feast he customarily released#The imperfect tense has been translated as customary here (“customarily released”) for them one prisoner whom they requested. 7And the one named Barabbas#“Barabbas” means “son of the father” in Aramaic was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion. 8And the crowd came up and#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came up”) has been translated as a finite verb began to ask him to do as he customarily did#The imperfect tense has been translated as customary here (“customarily did”) for them. 9So Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?” 10(For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.) 11But the chief priests incited the crowd so that he would release for them Barabbas#*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“answered”) has been translated as a finite verb instead. 12So Pilate answered and said to them again, “Then what do you want me to do with the one whom you call the king of the Jews?” 13And they shouted again, “Crucify him!” 14And Pilate said to them, “Why? What evil has he done?” But they shouted even louder, “Crucify him!”
15So Pilate, because he#*Here “because” is supplied as a component of the participle (“wanted”) which is understood as causal wanted to satisfy#Literally “to make sufficient” the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And after#*Here “after” is supplied as a component of the participle (“flogged”) which is understood as temporal he had Jesus flogged, he handed him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation over so that he could be crucified.

21And they forced a certain man who was passing by, Simon of Cyrene (the father of Alexander and Rufus), who was coming from the country, to carry his cross. 22And they brought him to the place Golgotha (which is translated “Place of a Skull”). 23And they attempted to give#*Here the imperfect tense is translated as a conative imperfect (“attempted to give”) him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24And they crucified him and divided his clothes among themselves#*Here “among themselves” reflects the middle voice of the verb “divided” by#*Here “by” is supplied as a component of the participle (“casting”) which is understood as means casting lots for them to see who should take what. 25Now it was the third hour when they crucified him. 26And the inscription of the charge against him was written, “The king of the Jews.” 27And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left.#Most later Greek manuscripts add v. 28 (a quotation from Isa 53:12) after v. 27, “And the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘And he was counted with the lawless ones’ ” 29And those who passed by reviled him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha!

Even those who were crucified with him were reviling him.

33And when#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“came”) the sixth hour came, darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which is translated, “My God, my God, why#Literally “for what reason” have you forsaken me?”)#A quotation from Ps 22:1 35And some of the bystanders, when they#*Here “when” is supplied as a component of the participle (“heard”) which is understood as temporal heard it,#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation said, “Behold, he is summoning Elijah!” 36And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation on a reed, and#*Here “and” is supplied because the two previous participles (“ran” and “filled”) have been translated as finite verbs gave it#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation to him to drink, saying, “Leave him#*Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation alone!
