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

But Jesus yet answered nothing,.... He still continued silent, and made no defence for himself, which the governor was willing to give him an opportunity to make, and, as his friend, urged him to it:

so that Pilate marvelled; what should be the meaning of his silence, when he was so capable of defending himself, and was so innocent, as Pilate himself was ready to believe; and yet the things he was charged with were of, the highest nature, and by persons of the greatest figure in the nation; so that his silence exposed him to a great deal of danger, which Pilate thought might easily be avoided by answering for himself; :-.
