Contextual Overview

1 Very early in the morning, the leading priests, the elders, the teachers of the law, and all the Jewish council decided what to do with Jesus. They tied him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate, the governor. 2 Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Those are your words." 3 The leading priests accused Jesus of many things. 4 So Pilate asked Jesus another question, "You can see that they are accusing you of many things. Aren't you going to answer?" 5 But Jesus still said nothing, so Pilate was very surprised. 6 Every year at the time of the Passover the governor would free one prisoner whom the people chose. 7 At that time, there was a man named Barabbas in prison who was a rebel and had committed murder during a riot. 8 The crowd came to Pilate and began to ask him to free a prisoner as he always did. 9 So Pilate asked them, "Do you want me to free the king of the Jews?" 10 Pilate knew that the leading priests had turned Jesus in to him because they were jealous.

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- :.
