5 Pero Jesús ni aun con eso contestó nada, de modo que Pilato se quedó asombrado.

Marcos 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).

Marcos 15:5 In-Context

3 Los jefes de los sacerdotes se pusieron a acusarlo de muchas cosas.

4 —¿No vas a contestar? —le preguntó de nuevo Pilato—. Mira de cuántas cosas te están acusando.

5 Pero Jesús ni aun con eso contestó nada, de modo que Pilato se quedó asombrado.

6 Ahora bien, durante la fiesta él acostumbraba soltarles un preso, el que la gente pidiera.

7 Y resulta que un hombre llamado Barrabás estaba encarcelado con los rebeldes condenados por haber cometido homicidio en una insurrección.
