2 ^aThen Pilate asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” He answered and said to him, “It is as you say.”

3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He ^aanswered nothing.

4 ^aThen Pilate asked Him again, saying, “Do You answer nothing? See how many things¹ they testify against You!”

5 ^aBut Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.

What Does Mark 15:4 Mean?

Mark 15:3-5

Jesus shows us that meekness is not a mere contemplative virtue; it is maintaining peace and patience in the midst of pelting provocations. In II Corinthians Paul realizes that the meek and gentle approach can easily appear as weakness to those unfamiliar with Jesus' example, so he calls it "the meekness . . . of Christ." True meekness is always measured by Christ's meekness. His humility, patience, and total submission of His own will to the will of the Father exemplifies meekness.
