Matthew 27:24

Jesus is Condemned and Mocked

27:24 When ⁷  Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but that instead a riot was starting, he took some water, washed his hands before the crowd and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. You take care of it yourselves!” ⁸

27:49 But the rest said, “Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to save him.” ⁹ 

[13:31]  ¹ tn Grk “put before.”

[13:31]  ² tn Grk “He set before them another parable, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant and has not been translated.

[13:31]  ³ sn The mustard seed was noted for its tiny size.

[25:20]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[25:20]  ⁵ tn Grk Or “Lord; or “Master” (and so throughout this paragraph).

[26:26]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:24]  ¹⁰ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:24]  ¹¹ sn 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.

[27:49]  ¹³ tc Early and important mss (א B C L Γ pc) have another sentence at the end of this verse: “And another [soldier] took a spear and pierced him in the side, and water and blood flowed out.” This comment finds such a strong parallel in John 19:34 that it was undoubtedly lifted from the Fourth Gospel by early, well-meaning scribes and inserted into Matt 27:49. Consequently, even though the support for the shorter reading (A D W Θ Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat sy sa bo) is not nearly as impressive, internal considerations on its behalf are compelling.
