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 Pilate asked him again,.... In the presence of the chief priests, who laid so many things to his charge; for the former question was put, when Jesus and he were alone in the judgment hall, whither the Jews would not enter for fear of being defiled; see

John 18:28;

saying, answerest thou nothing behold how many things they witness against thee? The charges were many, and very heinous, and which Pilate thought called for self-defence; John 18:28- :.
