[27:21]  1 tn Grk “answering, the governor said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:11]  2 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[27:11]  3 tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[27:11]  4 snAre you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested in this charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome.

[27:11]  5 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[27:11]  6 sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 26:64.
