Contextual Overview
1Then the whole council rose and led Jesus away to Pilate. 2And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this man subverting our nation, forbidding payment of taxes to Caesar, and proclaiming Himself to be Christ, a king." 3So Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" "You have said so," Jesus replied.4Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, "I find no basis for a charge against this man." 5But they kept insisting, "He stirs up the people all over Judea with His teaching. He began in Galilee and has come all the way here." 6When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean. 7And learning that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself was in Jerusalem at that time. 8When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased. He had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had heard about Him and was hoping to see Him perform a miracle. 9Herod questioned Jesus at great length, but He gave no answer. 10Meanwhile, the chief priests and scribes stood there, vehemently accusing Him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Pilate asked him, saying,.... Observing that it was said, he had given himself out to be a king; for as for what regarded religion, he took no notice of it; he put this question to him,
art thou the King of the Jews? that their prophecies speak of, and they have expected;
and he answered him and said, thou sayest it; that is, thou sayest well; it is as thou sayest, I am the King of the Jews;
:- though he did not leave this without an explanation; without informing him what sort of a king he was, and what kind of a kingdom he had; see John 18:36 which made Pilate perfectly easy, and desirous to release him, as appears by what follows.
