Marco 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).

Marco 15:5 In-Context

3 E i principali sacerdoti l’accusavano di molte cose; ma egli non rispondeva nulla.

4 E Pilato da capo lo domandò, dicendo: Non rispondi tu nulla? vedi quante cose costoro testimoniano contro a te.

5 Ma Gesù non rispose nulla di più, talchè Pilato se ne maravigliava.

6 Or ogni festa egli liberava loro un prigione, qualunque chiedessero.

7 Or vi era colui, ch’era chiamato Barabba, ch’era prigione co’ suoi compagni di sedizione, i quali avean fatto omicidio nella sedizione.
