Mark 15:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:2

And Pilate asked him, art thou the king of the Jews?
&c.] Which either he had heard before that it was said by him, and his followers; or was what the Jews now suggested to him as his crime, which they desired sentence of death might pass upon him:

and he answering, said unto him, thou sayest it;
which is all one as if he had said, I am; (See Gill on Matthew 26:25); for so he was in a sense, in which he explained himself to Pilate's satisfaction, ( John 18:36 John 18:37 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 27:11).

Mark 15:2 In-Context

1 As soon as it was morning, the head cohanim held a council meeting with the elders, the Torah-teachers and the whole Sanhedrin. Then they put Yeshua in chains, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.

2 Pilate put this question to him: "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "The words are yours."

3 The head cohanim too made accusations against him,

4 and Pilate again inquired of him, "Aren't you going to answer? Look how many charges they are making against you!"

5 But Yeshua made no further response, to Pilate's amazement.
