Contextual Overview

1And early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, immediately held council; and binding Jesus, led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2And Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered him and *said, "You yourself say it." 3And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things. 4Then Pilate was questioning Him again, saying, "You answer nothing? See how many accusations they bring against You!" 5But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate marveled. 6Now at the feast he used to release for them any one prisoner whom they requested. 7And the man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection. 8And the crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them. 9And Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?" 10For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him over because of envy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Pilate answered them; saying,.... Being satisfied of the innocence of Jesus, and being willing to dismiss him:

will ye that I release unto you the king of the Jews? he who is called so; and which he either said by way of derision both of Christ, and them; or else in order to prevail upon them to ask his release, it being scandalous and reproachful to put their king to death.
