Contextual Overview

11Now Jesus stood before the governor. “Are you the King of the Jews?” the governor asked him. 12While he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he didn’t answer. 13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how much they are testifying against you?” 14But he didn’t answer him on even one charge, so that the governor was quite amazed. 15At the festival the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted. 16At that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. 17So when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Who is it you want me to release for you—Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?” 18For he knew it was because of envy that they had handed him over. 19While he was sitting on the judge’s bench, his wife sent word to him, “Have nothing to do with that righteous man, for today I’ve suffered terribly in a dream because of him.” 20The chief priests and the elders, however, persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to execute Jesus.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then saith Pilate unto him,.... Observing he made no reply to the accusations of the chief priests and elders, and in order to draw something out of him,

hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? art thou deaf? or dost thou not take in what is alleged against thee? dost thou not consider the nature of these charges? how many, and of what kind the depositions are now made by persons of such rank and figure? art thou under no concern to make answer to them?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They witness against thee - This means, rather, that they accused him. They were not “witnesses,” but accusers. These accusations were repeated and pressed. They charged him with exciting the people, teaching throughout, all Judea from Galilee to Jerusalem, and exciting the nation to sedition, Luke 23:5.
