Context of Matthew 27:13

11Now Jesus stood before [Pilate] the governor, and the governor asked Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” [In affirmation] Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” 12But when the charges were brought against Him by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer. Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they are testifying against You?” 14But Jesus did not reply to him, not even to a single accusation, so that the governor was greatly astonished. 15Now at the feast [of the Passover] the governor was in the habit of setting free any one prisoner whom the people chose.
