Luke 23:25

23:25 He released the man they asked for, who had been thrown in prison for insurrection and murder. But he handed Jesus over to their will.


tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the sequence of events (Jesus’ healing the man was in response to their refusal to answer).

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Grk “taking hold [of the man].” The participle ἐπιλαβόμενος (epilabomeno") has been taken as indicating attendant circumstance.

tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Or “delivered up.”
