Contextual Overview

¹ And the whole assembly of them arose, and brought him to Pilatos. ² And they began to accuse him, saying, We have found this who deludeth our people, and forbiddeth that tribute [fn] unto Caesar we should give, saying of himself that he is the King Meshicha. ³ But Pilatos asked him, and said to him, Art thou the king of the Jihudoyee ? He saith to him, Thou hast said. ⁴ And Pilatos said to the chief priests and to the assembly, I find no occasion against this man. ⁵ But they cried out and said, He commoveth our people while he teacheth throughout all Jihud, beginning from Galila unto this place. ⁶ Pilatos, however, when he heard the name of Galila, asked if the man were a Galiloya. ⁷ And when he knew that he was from the limit of the jurisdiction of Herodes, he sent him unto Herodes, because that in Urishlem he was in those days. ⁸ And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him. ⁹ And many words he asked him; but Jeshu gave him no answer whatever. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and scribes stood and strenuously accused him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said Pilate to the Chief priests, and to the people,.... Both to the sanhedrim, and to the mob that were gathered together about the governor's palace on this occasion; and who were standing without the judgment hall, into which they would not enter, lest they should be defiled, and be unfit to eat the passover: wherefore Pilate came out to them; and this was the second time of his coming out to them, when he said the following words,

John 18:28.

I find no fault in this man; no cause, or reason, why any punishment should be inflicted on him, and especially he be put to death; no crime that can be fastened on him, or accusation proved against him, or any thing that amounts to a charge of sedition: the man is an harmless and innocent man, that has done nothing against Caesar, or the government, and good of the nation; and therefore is not worthy of death, or of stripes, but should be discharged. This was Pilate's sense.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I find no fault - I see no evidence that he is guilty of what you charge him with. This was after Pilate had taken Jesus into the judgment-hall by himself and examined him “privately,” and had been satisfied in regard to the nature of his kingdom. See John 18:33-38. He was “then” satisfied that though he claimed to be “a king,” yet his kingdom was not of this world, and that “his” claims did not interfere with those of Caesar.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 23:4. I find no fault in this man. — According to John 18:36; John 18:38, Pilate did not say this till after our Lord had declared to him that his kingdom was not of this world; and probably not till after he had found, on examining witnesses, (Luke 23:14,) that all their evidence amounted to no proof, of his having set up himself for a temporal king. See Bishop PEARCE.
