Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead,.... For death, by crucifixion, was a slow lingering death; persons that were in their full strength hung a great while before they expired; and the two thieves, which were crucified with Christ, were not dead when he was:
and calling unto him the centurion; who was set to watch him:
he asked him, whether he had been any while dead; he inquired of him, whether he was dead, and how long he had been dead.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And Pilate marveled if - Wondered if he was dead, or wondered that he was so soon dead. It was not common for persons crucified to expire under two or three days, sometimes not until the sixth or seventh. Joseph had asked for the “body,†implying that he was dead. That he was, had been ascertained by the soldiers. See John 19:33.
