Matius 26:64
Konteks26:64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand 1 of the Power 2 and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 3
Matius 27:11
Konteks27:11 Then 4 Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, 5 “Are you the king 6 of the Jews?” Jesus 7 said, “You say so.” 8
[26:64] 1 sn An allusion to Ps 110:1. This is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.
[26:64] 2 sn The expression the right hand of the Power is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.
[26:64] 3 sn An allusion to Dan 7:13 (see also Matt 24:30).
[27:11] 4 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
[27:11] 5 tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
[27:11] 6 sn “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate was interested in this charge because of its political implications of sedition against Rome.
[27:11] 7 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
[27:11] 8 sn The reply “You say so” is somewhat enigmatic, like Jesus’ earlier reply to the Jewish leadership in 26:64.
