Context of Luke 23:4

2They began to accuse Jesus by saying, “We found that he stirs up trouble among our people: He keeps them from paying taxes to the emperor, and he says that he is Christ, a king.” 3Pilate asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “Yes, I am,” Jesus answered. Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, “I can’t find this man guilty of any crime.” 5The priests and the crowd became more forceful. They said, “He stirs up the people throughout Judea with his teachings. He started in Galilee and has come here.” 6When Pilate heard that, he asked if the man was from Galilee.

Commentaries on Luke 23:4

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 4I find no fault in this man - According to John 18:36, John 18:38, Pilate did not say this till after our Lord had declared to him that his kingdom was not of this world; and probably not till after he had found, on examining witnesses, ( Luke 23:14;), that all their evidence amounted to no proof, of his having set up himself for a temporal king. See Bishop Pearce.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 4I find no fault - I see no evidence that he is guilty of what you charge him with. This was after Pilate had taken Jesus into the judgment-hall by himself and examined him “privately,” and had been satisfied in regard to the nature of his kingdom. See John 18:33-38. He was “then” satisfied that though he claimed to be “a king,” yet his kingdom was not of this world, and that “his” claims did not interfere with those of Caesar.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4I find no basis for a charge against this man: Jesus did not appear to be a political threat to Pilate.Read the comment
