So Pilate said to Him This phrase introduces us to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, who plays a pivotal role in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Pilate's position as a Roman authority is significant, as it fulfills the prophecy of Jesus being handed over to the Gentiles (Matthew 20:19). Historically, Pilate was known for his harsh rule and was often in conflict with the Jewish leaders. His interaction with Jesus is a profound moment where earthly power confronts divine authority. The Greek word for "said" (εἶπεν, eipen) indicates a direct and authoritative speech, reflecting Pilate's frustration and bewilderment at Jesus' silence. Do You refuse to speak to me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?--The text of the better MSS. inverts the order, reading,. . . . have power to release Thee, and have power to crucify Thee. This is the more natural order of thought--"Thy life is in my power; yea, and Thy death also." Verse 10. - Therefore saith Pilate to him; nettled by this silence, and with the arrogance of a Roman procurator, Speakest thou net to me? "I do not wonder at your silence before that malignant crowd, but to me your refusal to speak is inexplicable." He did not appear to desire genuine information, nor was his conscience touched by reflecting upon the hateful mistake he had made. "The ἐμοί bears the emphasis of mortified power, which attempts even then to terrify and entice" (Meyer). Archdeacon Watkins says well, "Pilate is true to the vacillating character which now, as man, trembles before One who may be a being from the other world, and now as Roman governor expects that Being to tremble before him." Knowest thou not that I have authority (ἐξουσίαν) to release thee; and that I have authority to crucify thee? Pilate scoffingly assumes supreme authority of life and death, He virtually says, "I am the judge; you are the accused criminal. I am your master, and the master of the Jews; you are absolutely in my power." This, then, was another moment of critical and intense interest, and of tremendous temptation from the prince of this world. The destiny of the Church, of Christianity, and of the world might seem to be trembling in the balance. A single glance, a single word of admission or pleading, a gesture of deference, or merely human confidence, or gentle flattery, to say nothing of the exercise of the very power by which the Lord had erewhile spell-bound his captors, or paralyzed the arms which meant to stone him, and the whole history of the world (judged from human and historical standpoints) would have been utterly different. But the same Christ who would not accept the help of daemons, nor ascend from the mountain of Transfiguration to his native and primeval home, nor at any time work a miracle for the supply of his merely personal need, uttered the memorable words -Parallel Commentaries ...
