Matthew 27:13 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:13

Then saith Pilate unto him
Observing he made no reply to the accusations of the chief priests and elders, and in order to draw something out of him,

hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
art thou deaf? or dost thou not take in what is alleged against thee? dost thou not consider the nature of these charges? how many, and of what kind the depositions are now made by persons of such rank and figure? art thou under no concern to make answer to them?

Matthew 27:13 In-Context

11 Meanwhile, Yeshua was brought before the governor, and the governor put this question to him: "Are you the King of the Jews?" Yeshua answered, "The words are yours."

12 But when he was accused by the head cohanim and elders, he gave no answer.

13 Then Pilate said to him, "Don't you hear all these charges they are making against you?"

14 But to the governor's great amazement, he did not say a single word in reply to the accusations.

15 It was the governor's custom during a festival to set free one prisoner, whom ever the crowd asked for.
