Yohanes 19:4

19:4 Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, ⁴  “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation ⁵  against him.”

[6:61]  ¹ tn Grk “When Jesus knew within himself.”

[6:61]  ² tn Or “were grumbling.”

[6:61]  ³ tn Or “Does this cause you to no longer believe?” (Grk “cause you to stumble?”)

[6:61]  sn Does this cause you to be offended? It became apparent to some of Jesus’ followers at this point that there would be a cost involved in following him. They had taken offense at some of Jesus’ teaching (perhaps the graphic imagery of “eating his flesh” and “drinking his blood,” and Jesus now warned them that if they thought this was a problem, there was an even worse cause for stumbling in store: his upcoming crucifixion (John 6:61b-62). Jesus asked, in effect, “Has what I just taught caused you to stumble? What will you do, then, if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before?” This ascent is to be accomplished through the cross; for John, Jesus’ departure from this world and his return to the Father form one continual movement from cross to resurrection to ascension.

[19:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “to them.” The words “the Jewish leaders” are supplied from John 18:38 for clarity.

[19:4]  ⁵ tn Or “find no basis for an accusation”; Grk “find no cause.”
