Matthew 27:19

27:19 As ¹  he was sitting on the judgment seat, ²  his wife sent a message ³  to him: ⁴  “Have nothing to do with that innocent man; ⁵  I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream ⁶  about him today.”

Matthew 27:23-25

27:23 He asked, “Why? What wrong has he done?” But they shouted more insistently, “Crucify him!”

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  27:25 In ⁹  reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”

[27:19]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:19]  ² tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

[27:19]  ³ tn The word “message” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[27:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[27:19]  ⁵ tn The Greek particle γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated here.

[27:19]  ⁶ tn Or “suffered greatly in a dream.” See the discussion on the construction κατ᾿ ὄναρ (kat’ onar) in BDAG 710 s.v. ὄναρ.

[27:24]  ⁷ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:24]  ⁸ 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.

[27:25]  ¹³ tn Grk “answering, all the people said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
