Discovery BoxJohn 19:15-16 
Context19:15 Then they 1 shouted out, “Away with him! Away with him! 2 Crucify 3 him!” Pilate asked, 4 “Shall I crucify your king?” The high priests replied, “We have no king except Caesar!” 19:16 Then Pilate 5 handed him over 6 to them to be crucified.
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus,
1 tn Grk “Then these.”
2 tn The words “with him” (twice) are not in the Greek text. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
3 sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.
4 tn Grk “Pilate said to them.” The words “to them” are not translated because it is clear in English who Pilate is addressing.
5 tn Grk “Then he”; the referent (Pilate) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Or “delivered him over.”
