# What is truth?
|
|
|
|
This remark appears in the form of a question to reflect Pilate's belief that no one really knows what truth is. The irony here is that Jesus is the truth. AT: "No one can know what is true!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])

# the Jews
|
|
|
|
Here "Jews" is a synecdoche that refers to the Jewish leaders who opposed Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

|
# Not this man, but Barabbas
|
|
|
|
This is an ellipsis. You can add the implied words. AT: "No! Do not release this man! Release Barabbas instead!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
|

|
# Now Barabbas was a robber
|
|
|
|
Here John provides background information about Barabbas. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])
