This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
60. Οὐκ ἀποκρίνῃ οὐδέν; This is a separate question (A.V., R.V.). Vulg. runs the two questions into one; Non respondes quicquam ad ea quae tibi objiciuntur ab his? The Greek in Mt. is the same, with the omission of one negative, but there Vulg. has Nihil respondes ad ea quae isti adversum te testificantur? Both these translations treat τί as if it were πρὸς ἅ. We might take τί as ὅ τι, “nothing as to that which”; but the two questions are more terse and more in Mk’s style. The double negative is in Mk’s style; see on Mar 14:25.
τί οὗτοί σου κ.; “What explanation is there of all this testimony against Thee?” The high-priest adopts this paternal tone in order to get evidence from Christ Himself which they had failed to get from their witnesses. Syr-Sin. make this a separate question, as also does Victor.
