João 19:9 Meaning and Commentary

John 19:9

And went again into the judgment hall
From whence he came out, taking Jesus along with him, in order to interrogate him alone upon this head:

and saith unto Jesus, whence art thou?
meaning not of what country he was, for he knew he was of the nation of the Jews; nor in what place he was born, whether at Bethlehem or at Nazareth, for this was no concern of his; but from whence he sprung, who were his ancestors, and whether his descent was from the gods, or from men; and if from the former, from which of them; for as Pilate was an Heathen, he must be supposed to speak as such:

but Jesus gave him no answer;
for his question was frivolous, and deserved none; and besides, he was not worthy of one, who had used him so ill, when he knew, in his own conscience, that he was innocent; nor was he capable of taking in an answer, or able to judge whether it was right or wrong; and since Christ was come to die for the salvation of his people, it was not proper he should say anything that might be a means of hindering it.

João 19:9 In-Context

7 Os judeus insistiram: “Temos uma lei e, de acordo com essa lei, ele deve morrer, porque se declarou Filho de Deus”.

8 Ao ouvir isso, Pilatos ficou ainda mais amedrontado

9 e voltou para dentro do palácio. Então perguntou a Jesus: “De onde você vem?”, mas Jesus não lhe deu resposta.

10 “Você se nega a falar comigo?”, disse Pilatos. “Não sabe que eu tenho autoridade para libertá-lo e para crucificá-lo?”

11 Jesus respondeu: “Não terias nenhuma autoridade sobre mim se esta não te fosse dada de cima. Por isso, aquele que me entregou a ti é culpado de um pecado maior”.
