Contextual Overview

²⁸ Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium; and it was morning; and they did not enter into the praetorium, so that they may not be defiled before they ate the passover. ²⁹ Pilate then went outside where they were, and said to them, What accusation do you have against this man? ³⁰ They answered and said to him, If he were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him up also to you. ³¹ Then said Pilate to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own law. The Jews said to him, We have no power to kill a man; ³² So that the word which Jesus had said might be fulfilled, when he signified by what kind of death he was to die. ³³ Pilate then entered into the praetorium, and called Jesus and said to him. Are you the King of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus said to him, Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it to you concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate said to him, Why, am I a Jew? Your own people and the high priests have delivered you to me; what have you done? ³⁶ Jesus said to him, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from here. ³⁷ Pilate said to him, Then are you a king? Jesus said to him, You say that I am a king.* For this I was born, and for this very thing I came to the world, that I may bear witness concerning the truth. Whoever is of the truth will hear my voice.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Pilate then went out unto them,.... Either into the street, or rather into the place called the pavement, and in Hebrew Gabbatha; see John 19:13 the place where the Jewish sanhedrim used to sit; wherefore in complaisance to them, since they would not come into his court of judicature, he condescends to go into one of theirs, which showed great civility and humanity in him:

and said, what accusation bring ye against this man? meaning, what offence had he committed? what crime had they to charge him with? what did they accuse him of? and what proof had they to support their charge? His view was, to have the matter stated, the cause opened, and evidence given; that the accused being face to face with the accusers, might answer for himself; and he, as a judge, be capable of judging between them: all which were very commendable in him, and agreeably to the Roman laws; and have an appearance of equity, justice, and impartiality.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Pilate then went out — This was an act of condescension; but, as the Romans had confirmed to the Jews the free use of all their rites and ceremonies, the governor could not do less than comply with them in this matter. He went out to them, that they might not be obliged to come into the hall, and thus run the risk of being defiled.
