Luke 23:14

Context
23:14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading 1  the people. When I examined him before you, I 2  did not find this man guilty 3  of anything you accused him of doing.

Luke 23:18

Context

Luke 23:35

Context
23:35 The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed 6  him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save 7  himself if 8  he is the Christ 9  of God, his chosen one!”

Context

23:39 One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t 10  you the Christ? 11  Save yourself and us!”

1 tn This term also appears in v. 2.

2 tn Grk “behold, I” A transitional use of ἰδού (idou) has not been translated here.

3 tn Grk “nothing did I find in this man by way of cause.” The reference to “nothing” is emphatic.

4 tn Grk “together, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated here.

5 tn Grk “this one.” The reference to Jesus as “this man” is pejorative in this context.

6 tn A figurative extension of the literal meaning “to turn one’s nose up at someone”; here “ridicule, sneer at, show contempt for” (L&N 33.409).

7 sn The irony in the statement Let him save himself is that salvation did come, but later, not while on the cross.

8 tn This is a first class condition in the Greek text.

9 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.

10 tc Most mss (A C3 W Θ Ψ Ë1,13 33 Ï lat) read εἰ σὺ εἶ (ei su ei, “If you are”) here, while οὐχὶ σὺ εἶ (ouci su ei, “Are you not”) is found in overall better and earlier witnesses (Ì75 א B C* L 070 1241 pc it). The “if” clause reading creates a parallel with the earlier taunts (vv. 35, 37), and thus is most likely a motivated reading.

sn The question in Greek expects a positive reply and is also phrased with irony.

11 tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

sn See the note on Christ in 2:11.
