Contextual Overview

1 Very early in the morning, the leading priests, the older Jewish leaders, the teachers of the law, and the whole high council decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led him away, and handed him over to Governor Pilate. 2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Yes, that is right." 3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things. 4 So Pilate asked Jesus another question. He said, "You can see that these people are accusing you of many things. Why don't you answer?" 5 But Jesus still did not answer, and this really surprised Pilate. 6 Every year at the Passover time the governor would free one prisoner—whichever one the people wanted. 7 There was a man in prison at that time named Barabbas. He and the rebels with him had been put in prison for committing murder during a riot. 8 The people came to Pilate and asked him to free a prisoner as he always did. 9 Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?" 10 Pilate knew that the leading priests had handed Jesus over to him because they were jealous of him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the chief priests accused him of many things,.... As that he was a magician, and a blasphemer, and gave out that he was the Son of God; and that he made himself a king, and even forbad the people to give tribute to Caesar, and moved discord, sedition, and rebellion throughout the land;

but he answered nothing. This clause is wanting in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions; but is in the Greek text of the Complutensian edition, and in the Ethiopic version, and agrees with Matthew 27:12,

Matthew 27:12- :.
