Contextual Overview

¹Then their whole assembly rose up and brought him before Pilate. ²They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man misleading our nation, opposing payment of taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is the Messiah, a king.” ³So Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” ⁴Pilate then told the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no grounds for charging this man.” ⁵But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where he started even to here.” ⁶When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man was a Galilean. ⁷Finding that he was under Herod’s jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem during those days. ⁸Herod was very glad to see Jesus; for a long time he had wanted to see him because he had heard about him and was hoping to see some miracle performed by him. ⁹So he kept asking him questions, but Jesus did not answer him. ¹⁰The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he questioned with him in many words,.... Or talked very much to him, inquiring who he was, whether John the Baptist, or no; whether it was true that he had wrought such miracles he had heard of, and how he wrought them, and by what power he performed them, and how he came by it; and used many arguments to persuade him to work a miracle at that time:

but he answered him nothing; would not give him one word in return to his many words, nor work any miracle in his presence; he answered him neither by words nor deeds; he would not indulge his curiosity, though he might have obtained his liberty by it.
