| found no cause of death--though they sought it (Mat 26:59-60). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And though they found ... - They found no crime which deserved death. This is conclusively shown by the trial itself. After all their efforts; after the treason of Judas; after their employing false witnesses; still no crime was laid to his charge. The Sanhedrin condemned him for blasphemy; and yet they knew that they could not substantiate the charge before Pilate, and they therefore endeavored to procure his condemnation on the ground of sedition. Compare Luk 22:70-71, with Luk 23:1-2.
Yet desired they Pilate ... - Mat 27:1-2; Luk 23:4-5. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| They found no cause of death in him - No reason why he should be condemned. Though they accused him of several things, yet they could not substantiate the most trifling charge against him; and yet, in opposition to all justice and equity, desired Pilate to put him to death! This points their perfidy in the strongest light. |
59 Now [1161] the chief priests [749], and [2532] elders [4245], and [2532] all [3650] the council [4892], sought [2212] false witness [5577] against [2596] Jesus [2424], to [3704] put [2289] him [846] to death [2289];
60 But [2532] found [2147] none [3756]: yea [2532], though many [4183] false witnesses [5575] came [4334], yet found they [2147] none [3756]. [1161] At the last [5305] came [4334] two [1417] false witnesses [5575],
4 Then [1161] said [2036] Pilate [4091] to [4314] the chief priests [749] and [2532] to the people [3793], I find [2147] no [3762] fault [158] in [1722] this [5129] man [444].
5 And [1161] they were the more fierce [2001], saying [3004] [3754], He stirreth up [383] the people [2992], teaching [1321] throughout [2596] all [3650] Jewry [2449], beginning [756] from [575] Galilee [1056] to [2193] this place [5602].
1 When [1161] the morning [4405] was come [1096], all [3956] the chief priests [749] and [2532] elders [4245] of the people [2992] took [2983] counsel [4824] against [2596] Jesus [2424] to [5620] put [2289] him [846] to death [2289]:
2 And [2532] when they had bound [1210] him [846], they led him away [520], and [2532] delivered [3860] him [846] to Pontius [4194] Pilate [4091] the governor [2232].
1 And [2532] the whole [537] multitude [4128] of them [846] arose [450], and led [71] him [846] unto [1909] Pilate [4091].
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].
70 Then [1161] said [5346] they all [3956], Art [1488] thou [4771] then [3767] the Son [5207] of God [2316]? And [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Ye [5210] say [3004] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510].
71 And [1161] they said [2036], What [5101] need [2192] we [5532] any further [2089] witness [3141]? for [1063] we ourselves [846] have heard [191] of [575] his own [846] mouth [4750].
