Context of Matthew 27:13

11Now Jesus stood before the governor. “Are you the king of the Jews?” the governor asked him. Jesus answered, “You say so.” 12While he was being accused by the chief priests and elders, he didn’t answer. Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how much they are testifying against you?” 14But he didn’t answer him on even one charge, so that the governor was quite amazed. 15At the festival the governor’s custom was to release to the crowd a prisoner they wanted.
