Contextual Overview

1Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate. 2So Pilate questioned Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" "You have said so," Jesus replied. 3And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.4Then Pilate questioned Him again, "Do You not answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!" 5But to Pilate's amazement, Jesus made no further reply. 6Now it was Pilate's custom at the feast to release to the people a prisoner of their choosing. 7And a man named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8So the crowd went up and began asking Pilate to keep his custom. 9"Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" Pilate asked. 10For he knew it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.

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- :.
