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 he questioned with him in many words,.... Or talked very much to him, inquiring who he was, whether John the Baptist, or no; whether it was true that he had wrought such miracles he had heard of, and how he wrought them, and by what power he performed them, and how he came by it; and used many arguments to persuade him to work a miracle at that time:

but he answered him nothing; would not give him one word in return to his many words, nor work any miracle in his presence; he answered him neither by words nor deeds; he would not indulge his curiosity, though he might have obtained his liberty by it.
