John 19:8-10

19:8 When Pilate heard what they said, he was more afraid than ever, 19:9 and he went back into the governor’s residence and said to Jesus, “Where do you come from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 19:10 So Pilate said, “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority to release you, and to crucify you?”


tn Grk “heard this word.”

tn Grk “became more afraid.”

tn Grk “into the praetorium.”

tn Grk “said to him.” The words “to him” are not translated because they are unnecessary in contemporary English style.

tn Or “the power.”

tn Grk “know that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you.” Repetition of “the authority” is unnecessarily redundant English style.
