A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by oar law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God--Their criminal charges having come to nothing, they give up that point, and as Pilate was throwing the whole responsibility upon them, they retreat into their own Jewish law, by which, as claiming equality with God (see Joh 5:18 and Joh 8:59), He ought to die; insinuating that it was Pilate's duty, even as civil governor, to protect their law from such insult.

59 Then [3767] took they up [142] stones [3037] to [2443] cast [906] at [1909] him [846]: but [1161] Jesus [2424] hid himself [2928], and [2532] went [1831] out of [1537] the temple [2411], going [1330] through [1223] the midst [3319] of them [846], and [2532] so [3779] passed by [3855].
18 Therefore [1223] [5124] [3767] the Jews [2453] sought [2212] the more [3123] to kill [615] him [846], because [3754] he [3089] not [3756] only [3440] had broken [3089] the sabbath [4521], but [235] said [3004] also [2532] that God [2316] was his [2398] Father [3962], making [4160] himself [1438] equal [2470] with God [2316].
36 Say [3004] ye [5210] of him, whom [3739] the Father [3962] hath sanctified [37], and [2532] sent [649] into [1519] the world [2889], [3754] Thou blasphemest [987]; because [3754] I said [2036], I am [1510] the Son [5207] of God [2316]?
33 The Jews [2453] answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], For [4012] a good [2570] work [2041] we stone [3034] thee [4571] not [3756]; but [235] for [4012] blasphemy [988]; and [2532] because [3754] that thou [4771], being [5607] a man [444], makest [4160] thyself [4572] God [2316].
30 I [1473] and [2532] my Father [3962] are [2070] one [1520].
2 And [1161] they began [756] to accuse [2723] him [846], saying [3004], We found [2147] this [5126] fellow perverting [1294] the nation [1484], and [2532] forbidding [2967] to give [1325] tribute [5411] to Caesar [2541], saying [3004] that he himself [1438] is [1511] Christ [5547] a King [935].
63 But [1161] Jesus [2424] held his peace [4623]. And [2532] the high priest [749] answered [611] and said [2036] unto him [846], I adjure [1844] thee [4571] by [2596] the living [2198] God [2316], that [2443] thou tell [2036] us [2254] whether [1487] thou [4771] be [1488] the Christ [5547], the Son [5207] of God [2316].
64 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thou [4771] hast said [2036]: nevertheless [4133] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] shall ye see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] sitting [2521] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of power [1411], and [2532] coming [2064] in [1909] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772].
65 Then [5119] the high priest [749] rent [1284] his [846] clothes [2440], saying [3004], [3754] He hath spoken blasphemy [987]; what [5101] further [2089] need [5532] have we [2192] of witnesses [3144]? behold [2396], now [3568] ye have heard [191] his [846] blasphemy [988].
1 If there arise [06965] among [07130] you a prophet [05030], or a dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472], and giveth [05414] thee a sign [0226] or a wonder [04159],
2 And the sign [0226] or the wonder [04159] come to pass [0935], whereof he spake [01696] unto thee, saying [0559], Let us go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430], which thou hast not known [03045], and let us serve [05647] them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken [08085] unto the words [01697] of that prophet [05030], or that dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] proveth [05254] you, to know [03045] whether ye [03426] love [0157] the LORD [03068] your God [0430] with all your heart [03824] and with all your soul [05315].
4 Ye shall walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068] your God [0430], and fear [03372] him, and keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and obey [08085] his voice [06963], and ye shall serve [05647] him, and cleave [01692] unto him.
5 And that prophet [05030], or that dreamer [02492] of dreams [02472], shall be put to death [04191]; because he hath spoken [01696] to turn [05627] you away from the LORD [03068] your God [0430], which brought you out [03318] of the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and redeemed [06299] you out of the house [01004] of bondage [05650], to thrust [05080] thee out of the way [01870] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] commanded [06680] thee to walk in [03212]. So shalt thou put [01197] the evil [07451] away [01197] from the midst [07130] of thee.
16 And he that blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191], and all the congregation [05712] shall certainly [07275] stone [07275] him: as well the stranger [01616], as he that is born in the land [0249], when he blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD, shall be put to death [04191].
20 But the prophet [05030], which shall presume [02102] to speak [01696] a word [01697] in my name [08034], which I have not commanded [06680] him to speak [01696], or that shall speak [01696] in the name [08034] of other [0312] gods [0430], even that prophet [05030] shall die [04191].
66 What [5101] think [1380] ye [5213]? They answered [611] and [1161] said [2036], He is [2076] guilty [1777] of death [2288].
65 Then [5119] the high priest [749] rent [1284] his [846] clothes [2440], saying [3004], [3754] He hath spoken blasphemy [987]; what [5101] further [2089] need [5532] have we [2192] of witnesses [3144]? behold [2396], now [3568] ye have heard [191] his [846] blasphemy [988].
14 Bring forth [03318] him that hath cursed [07043] without [02351] the camp [04264]; and let all that heard [08085] him lay [05564] their hands [03027] upon his head [07218], and let all the congregation [05712] stone [07275] him.
15 And thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], Whosoever [0376] curseth [03588] [07043] his God [0430] shall bear [05375] his sin [02399].
16 And he that blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], he shall surely [04191] be put to death [04191], and all the congregation [05712] shall certainly [07275] stone [07275] him: as well the stranger [01616], as he that is born in the land [0249], when he blasphemeth [05344] the name [08034] of the LORD, shall be put to death [04191].
