And said is literally “and said to him”; Good News Translation identifies “him” as Jesus in order to avoid the possibility of confusion with the person who is speaking in verse 61.

Have you no answer to make? is more literally “Do you answer nothing?” However, the form of the Greek sentence may be deceptive for English speakers, and the meaning is as Revised Standard Version and Good News Translation have expressed it (“Have you no answer to give…?”).

What is it that these men testify against you? is placed as part of the first question by Good News Translation in the phrase “to this accusation against you” (“Have you no answer to give to this accusation against you?”). Die Bibel im heutigen Deutsch is also economical in its restructuring: “Have you nothing to bring against these accusations?” Whether one question is used or two, the point remains that What is it that these men testify against you? is not asking for information about what the men had testified as much as it is asking Jesus to refute what they said or to explain himself: “What do you say to this accusation (or, to these things they have said about you)?”
