Contextual Overview

²⁸Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover. ²⁹So Pilate went out to them and asked, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"³⁰"If He were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed Him over to you." ³¹"You take Him and judge Him by your own law," Pilate told them. "We are not permitted to execute anyone," the Jews replied. ³²This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die. ³³Pilate went back into the Praetorium, summoned Jesus, and asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" ³⁴"Are you saying this on your own," Jesus asked, "or did others tell you about Me?" ³⁵"Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?" ³⁶Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now, My kingdom is not of this realm." ³⁷"Then You are a king!" Pilate said. "You say that I am a king," Jesus answered. "For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Pilate then went out unto them,.... Either into the street, or rather into the place called the pavement, and in Hebrew Gabbatha; see John 19:13 the place where the Jewish sanhedrim used to sit; wherefore in complaisance to them, since they would not come into his court of judicature, he condescends to go into one of theirs, which showed great civility and humanity in him:

and said, what accusation bring ye against this man? meaning, what offence had he committed? what crime had they to charge him with? what did they accuse him of? and what proof had they to support their charge? His view was, to have the matter stated, the cause opened, and evidence given; that the accused being face to face with the accusers, might answer for himself; and he, as a judge, be capable of judging between them: all which were very commendable in him, and agreeably to the Roman laws; and have an appearance of equity, justice, and impartiality.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Pilate then went out — This was an act of condescension; but, as the Romans had confirmed to the Jews the free use of all their rites and ceremonies, the governor could not do less than comply with them in this matter. He went out to them, that they might not be obliged to come into the hall, and thus run the risk of being defiled.
