1 | Judas -a question or making a statement? | Matt 26:25 | EdB | 225781 | ||
Here is how it reads in my interlinear. First line Greek next word for word translation apokritheis de Ioudas ho paradidous auton eipen Meti ego eimi rhabbi legei auto Su eipas HAVING ANSWERED, AND, JUDAS, THE ONE, BETRAYING, HIM, SAID, SURELY NOT, I, AM [THE ONE], RABBI, HE SAYS, TO HIM, YOU, HAVE SAID [IT]. This is where the art of translation comes in knowing where to put ? marks and how to make the sentence read correctly to us. I did have to remove the dash above the e in Meti and above the o in ego and auto. Can't remember what they are called |

2 | Judas -a question or making a statement? | Matt 26:25 | Pew Potato | 225786 | ||
The word Meti indicates a question: This interrogative particle occurs in questions (typically direct, though an indirect question does occur in Luke 9:13) when the speaker anticipates a negative answer (Bauer). Bauer also notes that it is usually left untranslated and offers no clear-cut translation. The word is a combination of me (3231), “not,” and ti (see 4948), “what?” It is best represented by casting the question at hand in such a way as to invite the reader to render a negative response. For example, “A blind man is not able to lead a blind man, is he?” (free translation, Luke 6:39, literally, “[Not] can a blind man guide?”); “Pilate responded, ’I am not a Jew, am I?’ ” (free translation, John 18:35, literally, “[Not] am I a Jew?”; cf. Acts 10:47; 2 Corinthians 1:17; James 3:11). The expected negative response may not be valid. Judas, who betrayed Jesus, asked, “I am not he, am I, Rabbi?” (free translation, Matthew 26:25, literally, “[Not] am I, rabbi?”). History knows the answer. (Cf. Matthew 12:23; John 4:29; 8:22.)
