Contextual Overview

1 AND immediately in the morning the high priests took counsel together with the elders and the scribes and with the whole council; and they bound Jesus and took him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor. 2 And Pilate asked him, Are you the King of the Jews? He answered and said to him, You say that. 3 And the high priests accused him of many things. 4 Then Pilate asked again and said to him, Do you not answer? see, how many are testifying against you. 5 But Jesus gave no answer, so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now it was the custom on every feast to release to them one prisoner, whom they asked for. 7 There was one called Bar-Abbas, who was bound with those who made insurrection, and who had committed murder during the insurrection. 8 And the people cried out, and began to ask, to do for them according to the custom. 9 Pilate answered and said, Are you willing that I release to you the King of the Jews? 10 For Pilate knew that the high priests had delivered him because of envy.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Pilate answered and said again unto them,.... Being astonished that they should ask the release of such an infamous person; and being very desirous of saving Jesus:

what will ye then that I shall do unto him, whom ye call the king of the Jews? at least many of you; would you have me put him to death? surely this can never be desired; or would you have me inflict some slight punishment on him, as scourging him, and so dismiss him?
