Context

Jesus Delivered to Pilate

³And the chief priests began to accuse Him of many things.⁴Then Pilate questioned Him again, “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!”

Summary

In this verse, Pilate questions Jesus about the accusations made against Him by the chief priests and elders, but Jesus chooses to remain silent. This fulfillment of prophecy from Isaiah 53:7 demonstrates Jesus' submission to the Father's will and His willingness to endure unjust suffering for the sake of humanity. Jesus' silence in the face of false accusations serves as a powerful example of humility, patience, and trust in God's ultimate plan of redemption. It also highlights the contrast between Jesus' innocence and the corruption of human judgment, ultimately leading to His sacrificial death on the cross for the forgiveness of sins.

Commentary

John Gill

John Gill Bible Commentary

And Pilate asked him again,.... In the presence of the chief priests, who laid so many things to his charge; for the former question was put, when Jesus and he were alone in the judgment hall, whither the Jews would not enter for fear of being defiled; see ; saying, answerest thou nothing behold how many things they witness against thee? The charges were many, and very heinous, and which Pilate thought called for self-defence; See Gill on Mat 27:13.
