NET © Notes |
1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative. 2 tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated. 3 sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested in this charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome. 4 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated. 5 sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 26:64. |
