Marc 15:5

5 Mais Jésus ne répondit plus rien, de sorte que Pilate en était surpris.

Marc 15:5 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:5

But Jesus yet answered nothing
He still continued silent, and made no defence for himself, which the governor was willing to give him an opportunity to make, and, as his friend, urged him to it:

so that Pilate marvelled;
what should be the meaning of his silence, when he was so capable of defending himself, and was so innocent, as Pilate himself was ready to believe; and yet the things he was charged with were of, the highest nature, and by persons of the greatest figure in the nation; so that his silence exposed him to a great deal of danger, which Pilate thought might easily be avoided by answering for himself; (See Gill on Matthew 27:14).

Marc 15:5 In-Context

3 Et les principaux sacrificateurs l'accusaient de plusieurs choses.

4 Mais Pilate l'interrogea encore et lui dit: Ne réponds-tu rien? Vois combien de choses ils avancent contre toi.

5 Mais Jésus ne répondit plus rien, de sorte que Pilate en était surpris.

6 Or, il avait coutume de relâcher, à chaque fête, celui des prisonniers que le peuple demandait.

7 Et il y avait en prison un nommé Barabbas avec ses complices qui avaient commis un meurtre dans une sédition.
