This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me: What hast thou done? - that is, “Jewish questions I neither understand nor meddle with; but Thou art here on a charge which, though it seems only Jewish, may yet involve treasonable matter: As they state it, I cannot decide the point; tell me, then, what procedure of Thine has brought Thee into this position.” In modern phrase, Pilate’s object in this question was merely to determine the relevancy of the charge.
