Matthew 27:11
Jesus stood before the governor. In the judgment hall
(John 18:28), which the Sanhedrin did not enter for fear of defilement.
It was probably about seven a.m. that they presented themselves to
Pilate, hoping that he would order their condemned prisoner to death
without inquiry, but on his demand for charges they accuse Jesus of
seeking to make himself King of the Jews. This charge causes Pilate to
ask:
Art thou the King of the Jews? They had condemned Jesus for
blasphemy, but now make a political charge, and Pilate's question is
whether Jesus is claiming a temporal kingdom.
Thou sayest. Jesus was King, not of the Jews only, but men, and
he admits the charge. He was King, however, in a spiritual sense, as he
explained to Pilate (John 18:36).
