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

Then Pilate said unto them,.... The third time,

Luke 23:22;

why, what evil hath he done? worthy of death. They had charged him with many things, but proved nothing against him. Pilate could find no fault in him, and judged him an innocent person, and therefore was loth to condemn him:

and they cried out the more exceedingly; with louder voices, and greater vehemency, the more they found he was inclined to save him:

crucify him; nothing short of death would satisfy them, and no other death but that of the cross; Luke 23:22- :,

Luke 23:22- :.
