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 Então toda a assembleia levantou-se e o levou a Pilatos.

2 E começaram a acusá-lo, dizendo: “Encontramos este homem subvertendo a nossa nação. Ele proíbe o pagamento de imposto a César e se declara ele próprio o Cristo, um rei”.

3 Pilatos perguntou a Jesus: “Você é o rei dos judeus?”“Tu o dizes”, respondeu Jesus.

4 Então Pilatos disse aos chefes dos sacerdotes e à multidão: “Não encontro motivo para acusar este homem”.

5 Mas eles insistiam: “Ele está subvertendo o povo em toda a Judeia com os seus ensinamentos. Começou na Galileia e chegou até aqui”.
