{Thou wouldest have} (ouk eiches). Imperfect active
indicative without an, but apodosis of second-class condition
as in 15:22,24 . {Except it were given thee} (ei m(8820)(886e)
dedomenon). Periphrastic past perfect indicative of did(936d)i (a
permanent possession). {From above} (an(9374)hen). From God (cf.
3:3 ), the same doctrine of government stated by Paul in Ro
13:1f . Pilate did not get his "authority" from the Sanhedrin,
but from Caesar. Jesus makes God the source of all real
"authority." {Hath greater sin} (meizona hamartian echei). The
same idiom in 9:41 . Caiaphas has his authority from God also
and has used Pilate for his own base end.
