Luke 23:5

23:5 But they persisted ¹  in saying, “He incites ²  the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!” ³ 

[23:5]  ¹ tn Or “were adamant.” For “persisted in saying,” see L&N 68.71.

[23:5]  ² sn He incites the people. The Jewish leadership claimed that Jesus was a political threat and had to be stopped. By reiterating this charge of stirring up rebellion, they pressured Pilate to act, or be accused of overlooking political threats to Rome.

[23:5]  ³ tn Grk “beginning from Galilee until here.”
