Lucas 23:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:3

And Pilate asked him, saying
Observing that it was said, he had given himself out to be a king; for as for what regarded religion, he took no notice of it; he put this question to him,

art thou the King of the Jews?
that their prophecies speak of, and they have expected;

and he answered him and said, thou sayest it;
that is, thou sayest well; it is as thou sayest, I am the King of the Jews; (See Gill on Matthew 27:11) though he did not leave this without an explanation; without informing him what sort of a king he was, and what kind of a kingdom he had; see ( John 18:36 John 18:37 ) which made Pilate perfectly easy, and desirous to release him, as appears by what follows.

Lucas 23:3 In-Context

1 Juicio de Jesús ante Pilato
Entonces todo el Concilio llevó a Jesús ante Pilato, el gobernador romano.

2 Comenzaron a presentar su caso: «Este hombre ha estado llevando al pueblo por mal camino al decirles que no paguen los impuestos al gobierno romano y al afirmar que él es el Mesías, un rey».

3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó:
—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?
Jesús contestó:

4 Pilato se dirigió a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud y les dijo:
—¡No encuentro ningún delito en este hombre!

5 Pero insistían:
—Con sus enseñanzas causa disturbios por donde va, en toda Judea, desde Galilea hasta Jerusalén.
