Matthew 27:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 27:13

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.

Taking the Place of Barabbas

15 ^aNow at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

16 And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called¹ Barabbas.
