¹tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

²tn Grk “find no cause.”

³tn Aram “looking to find.”

⁴tn Aram “from the side of the kingdom.”

⁵tn Aram “pretext and corruption.”

⁶tn Aram “no negligence or corruption was found in him.” The Greek version of Theodotion lacks the phrase “and no negligence or corruption was found in him.”

⁷tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁸tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

⁹tn The word “message” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

¹⁰tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

¹¹tn The Greek particle γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated here.

¹²tn Or “suffered greatly in a dream.” See the discussion on the construction κατ᾿ ὄναρ (kat’ onar) in BDAG 710 s.v. ὄναρ.

¹³tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁴sn You take care of it yourselves! Compare the response of the chief priests and elders to Judas in 27:4. The expression is identical except that in 27:4 it is singular and here it is plural.

¹⁵sn See the note on the word centurion in Matt 8:5.

¹⁶tn Grk “And though.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

¹⁷tn The participle εὑρόντες (Jeuronte") has been translated as a concessive adverbial participle.

¹⁸sn No basis. Luke insists on Jesus’ innocence again and again in Luke 23:1-25.

¹⁹tn Grk “no basis for death,” but in this context a sentence of death is clearly indicated.
