Jesus Faces Pilate

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. aAnd the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, b“It is as you say.”  
12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, aHe answered nothing.  
13 Then Pilate said to Him, a“Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?”  
14 But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

Matthew 27:12

When he was accused ... - To wit, of perverting the nation, and of forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, Luke 23:2, Luke 23:5. Probably this was done in a tumultuous manner and in every variety of form.

He answered nothing - He was conscious of his innocence. He knew that they could not Proverbs these charges. They offered no testimony to Proverbs them, and, in conscious innocence, he was silent.
