Contextual Overview

11 But Jeshu himself stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jihudoyee ? Jeshu said to him, Thou hast said. 12 And while the chief priests and elders were accusing him, he returned not a word. 13 Then said Pilatos unto him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee? 14 But he gave him no answer, no, not in one word; and upon this (Pilate) marvelled greatly. 15 Now at every festival the governor was accustomed to release one of the bound unto the people, whomsoever they would. 16 But there was (then) bound a notorious prisoner who was called Bar-aba. 17 And when they were assembled, Pilatos said to them, Whom will you that I release unto you, Bar-aba, or Jeshu who is called the Meshicha ? 18 For Pilatos knew that from malice they had delivered him. 19 But while the governor sat upon his tribunal, his wife sent to him saying, Let there be nothing between thee and that Just One; for much have I suffered in a dream to-day on his account. 20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that he should release to them Bar-aba, that they might destroy Jeshu.

And all the people answered and said, His blood upon us, and upon our children !

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then saith Pilate unto him,.... Observing he made no reply to the accusations of the chief priests and elders, and in order to draw something out of him,

hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? art thou deaf? or dost thou not take in what is alleged against thee? dost thou not consider the nature of these charges? how many, and of what kind the depositions are now made by persons of such rank and figure? art thou under no concern to make answer to them?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They witness against thee - This means, rather, that they accused him. They were not “witnesses,” but accusers. These accusations were repeated and pressed. They charged him with exciting the people, teaching throughout, all Judea from Galilee to Jerusalem, and exciting the nation to sedition, Luke 23:5.
