John 19:3

19:3 They ¹  came up to him again and again ²  and said, “Hail, king of the Jews!” ³  And they struck him repeatedly ⁴  in the face.

John 18:22

18:22 When Jesus ⁵  had said this, one of the high priest’s officers who stood nearby struck him on the face and said, ⁶  “Is that the way you answer the high priest?”

[19:3]  ¹ tn Grk “And they.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[19:3]  ² tn The words “again and again” are implied by the (iterative) imperfect verb ἤρχοντο (hrconto).

[19:3]  ³ tn Or “Long live the King of the Jews!”

[19:3]  ⁴ tn The word “repeatedly” is implied by the (iterative) imperfect verb ἐδιδοσαν (edidosan).

[18:22]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:22]  ⁶ tn Grk “one of the high priest’s servants standing by gave Jesus a strike, saying.” For the translation of ῥάπισμα (rJapisma), see L&N 19.4.
