Contextual Overview

1 And the whole company of them arose, and carried him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah. 3 And Pilate interrogated him, and said to him: Art thou king of the Jews? He said to him: Thou hast said. 4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the company: I find no crime upon this man. 5 And they vociferated, and said: He raiseth disturbance among our people, by teaching in all Judaea, commencing from Galilee, and quite to this place. 6 And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean. 7 And having learned that he was from under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod; for he was at Jerusalem on those days. 8 And Herod rejoiced greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him. 9 And he asked him many questions; but Jesus gave him no reply. 10 And the chief priests and Scribes stood up, and accused him vehemently.

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.
