Then Pilate questioned Him again Pilate, the Roman governor, is depicted as questioning Jesus multiple times, indicating his struggle to understand the charges brought against Jesus. This reflects Pilate's role as a Roman official responsible for maintaining order and justice. The repeated questioning suggests Pilate's uncertainty and perhaps his desire to find a reason to release Jesus, as seen in other Gospel accounts (Luke 23:4, John 18:38). Pilate's questioning also fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah 53:7, where the Messiah is described as being oppressed and afflicted, yet not opening His mouth. “Have You no answer? Look how many charges they are bringing against You!” Persons / Places / Events 1. PilateThe Roman governor of Judea, who is presiding over the trial of Jesus. He is a key figure in the Passion account, representing Roman authority and the political power of the time. 2. Jesus The central figure of the Christian faith, who is on trial before Pilate.

Teaching Points The Power of SilenceJesus' silence before Pilate is a powerful testament to His trust in God's plan. In our lives, there are times when silence can be more powerful than words, especially when facing false accusations or misunderstandings. Fulfillment of Prophecy Jesus' actions during His trial fulfill Old Testament prophecies, reinforcing the reliability of Scripture and God's sovereign plan. Believers can find assurance in the consistency and fulfillment of God's Word. Responding to Injustice Jesus' response to injustice is a model for Christians. Instead of retaliating, He entrusted Himself to God. This teaches us to respond to personal injustices with grace and trust in God's ultimate justice. The Role of Authority Pilate's role highlights the tension between earthly authority and divine purpose. Christians are reminded to respect authority while recognizing that God's purposes transcend human systems. Courage in the Face of Accusation Jesus' composure under false accusations encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, even when misunderstood or falsely accused. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Mark 15What were the key events in Jesus' trials? What led to Jesus's crucifixion? Why do Proverbs 26:4-5 seem contradictory? According to Isaiah 53:7, the servant remains silent when oppressed, yet in the Gospels Jesus speaks during his trials—how do we reconcile this contradiction? Verse 4. - It would seem that Pilate had led Jesus out of his palace, into which the Jewish priests could not enter (John 18:28), lest they should be defiled by entering a house from which all leaven had not been scrupulously removed. This would have been a violation of their religious scruples; and therefore he went out into the open court, and there heard the accusations of the chief priests. It is supposed that the building occupied by Pilate was the palace built or rebuilt by Herod near the gate of Jaffa, north-west of Mount Zion. It was doubtless occasionally occupied by Pilate, and it was conveniently situated, being near to Herod's palace - the old palace of the Asmoneans, between it and the temple.
