Contextual Overview

1 And straightway in the morning the chiefe Priests helde a consultation with the Elders and Scribes, and the whole Councell, and bound Iesus, and caried him away, and deliuered him to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answering, said vnto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the chiefe Priests accused him of many things: but hee answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witnesse against thee. 5 But Iesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marueiled. 6 Now at that Feast he released vnto them one prisoner, whomsoeuer they desired. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8 And the multitude crying alowd, began to desire him to doe as he had euer done vnto them. 9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release vnto you the King of the Iewes? 10 (For hee knew that the chiefe Priests had deliuered him for enuie.)

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the chief priests accused him of many things,.... As that he was a magician, and a blasphemer, and gave out that he was the Son of God; and that he made himself a king, and even forbad the people to give tribute to Caesar, and moved discord, sedition, and rebellion throughout the land;

but he answered nothing. This clause is wanting in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions; but is in the Greek text of the Complutensian edition, and in the Ethiopic version, and agrees with Matthew 27:12,

Matthew 27:12- :.
