Context22:66 When day came, the council of the elders of the people gathered together, both the chief priests and the experts in the law. 8 Then 9 they led Jesus 10 away to their council 11
1 sn The background to the image pressed down, shaken together, running over is pouring out grain for measure in the marketplace. One often poured the grain into a container, shook it to level out the grain and then poured in some more. Those who are generous have generosity running over for them.
2 tn Grk “they will give”; that is, “pour.” The third person plural has been replaced by the passive in the translation.
3 tn Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured back to you.”
4 tn Grk “And after.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
5 tn Grk “after not many days.”
6 tn Or “wasted.” This verb is graphic; it means to scatter (L&N 57.151).
7 tn Or “estate” (the same word has been translated “estate” in v. 12).
8 tn Or “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.
9 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
10 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
11 sn Their council is probably a reference to the Jewish Sanhedrin, the council of seventy leaders.
