Contextual Overview

1 Very early in the morning, all the religious leaders had made their plan against Jesus. They tied him up and handed him over to Pilate, the local Roman governor in charge. 2Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the boss of the Jews?" Jesus replied, "You said it, but I ain't denying it." 3This got the religious leaders all riled up. They were screaming and yelling accusations at Jesus. 4Pilate questioned Jesus again, "Are you not going to defend yourself? Listen to everything they are saying about you!" 5But Jesus kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.Pilate was amazed that a man could keep quiet in the face of so many deadly allegations. 6During the Feast of Flatbread, and the celebration of Passover, it was a tradition to release one person who was in jail and waiting execution. 7There was one particularly nasty fellow named Barabbas, who was locked up for murder. 8The crowd asked Pilate to release a prisoner and he asked if they would rather release Jesus or Barabbas. 9Pilate said, "Do you want me to let the Boss of the Jews go?" 10But he knew the religious leaders were just jealous of Jesus. Pilate was stalling and trying to help him all he could.

Hebrews 11:12
A whole new nation came from one old cowboy with one foot in the grave. This new people, God's own people, numbered more than the rocks in the rivers and the stars in the sky. You couldn't have counted them any easier than counting every blade of grass in a hundred years' worth of hay bales.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Jesus yet answered nothing,.... He still continued silent, and made no defence for himself, which the governor was willing to give him an opportunity to make, and, as his friend, urged him to it:

so that Pilate marvelled; what should be the meaning of his silence, when he was so capable of defending himself, and was so innocent, as Pilate himself was ready to believe; and yet the things he was charged with were of, the highest nature, and by persons of the greatest figure in the nation; so that his silence exposed him to a great deal of danger, which Pilate thought might easily be avoided by answering for himself; :-.
