26:66 What is your verdict?” ¹  They ²  answered, “He is guilty and deserves ³  death.”

Matthew 27:1

Jesus Brought Before Pilate

27:1 When ⁴  it was early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him.

Mark 14:64-65

14:64 You have heard the blasphemy! What is your verdict?” ⁵  They all condemned him as deserving death. 14:65 Then ⁶  some began to spit on him, and to blindfold him, and to strike him with their fists, saying, “Prophesy!” The guards also took him and beat ⁷  him.

Luke 22:71

22:71 Then ⁸  they said, “Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves ⁹  from his own lips!” ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Grk “What do you think?”

² tn Grk “answering, they said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ tn Grk “he is guilty of death.” L&N 88.313 states, “pertaining to being guilty and thus deserving some particular penalty – ‘guilty and deserving, guilty and punishable by.’ οἱ δὲ ἀποκριθέντες εἶπαν, ᾿Ενοχος θανάτου ἐστίν ‘they answered, He is guilty and deserves death’ Mt 26:66.”

⁴ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

⁵ tn Grk “What do you think?”

⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁷ tn For the translation of ῥάπισμα (rJapisma), see L&N 19.4.

⁸ tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

⁹ sn We have heard it ourselves. The Sanhedrin regarded the answer as convicting Jesus. They saw it as blasphemous to claim such intimacy and shared authority with God, a claim so serious and convicting that no further testimony was needed.

¹⁰ tn Grk “from his own mouth” (an idiom).
