Contextual Overview

1 And as soon as morning came, after formulating a plan, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Sanhedrin, tied up Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 2 And Pilate asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" And he answered him and said, "You say so." 3 And the chief priests began to accuse him of many things. 4 So Pilate asked him again, saying, "Do you not answer anything? See how many charges they are bringing against you!" 5 But Jesus did not answer anything further, so that Pilate was astonished. 6 Now at each feast he customarily released for them one prisoner whom they requested. 7 And the one named Barabbas was imprisoned with the rebels who had committed murder in the rebellion. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask him to do as he customarily did for them. 9 So Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?" 10 (For he realized that the chief priests had handed him over because of envy.)

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- :.
