This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 23:4. Ὁ δὲ Πιλάτος, moreover [or then] Pilate said) Pilate perceived that Jesus professes Himself to be a King of such a kind, as would prove of no detriment to Cæsar’s sovereignty. For He was now alone, deserted even by His disciples. [Again and again Pilate avouched the faultless innocence of Jesus; but he did so in a peculiarly emphatic manner three times in all, Luk 23:4; Luk 23:14; Luk 23:22. Comp. Mat 27:24 (“He took water and washed his hands, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it”); Joh 19:4.-Harm., p. 547.]
