Commentaries on Matthew 27:1

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1When the morning was come - As soon as it was light - took counsel against Jesus. They had begun this counsel the preceding evening, see Matthew 26:59. But as it was contrary to all forms of law to proceed against a person's life by night, they seem to have separated for a few hours, and then, at the break of day, came together again, pretending to conduct the business according to the forms of law. To put him to death - They had already determined his…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Jesus is brought before Pilate - See also Mark 16:1; Luke 23:1; John 18:28. When the morning was come - This was not long after Jesus had been condemned by the Sanhedrin. Peter‘s last denial was probably not far from three o‘clock a. m., or near the break of day. As soon as it was light, the Jews consulted together for the purpose of taking his life. The sun rose at that season of the year in Judea not far from five o‘clock a. m., and the time when they…Read the comment

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1The Jewish leaders said Jesus had spoken blasphemy (26:65–66). That charge was enough for the death penalty under Jewish law, but it would not persuade a Roman judge. So the leading priests and elders worked together to create a political charge that would fit Roman law on capital offenses (see 27:11–26; Luke 23:2).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-10Mr 15:1; Lu 23:1; Joh 18:28). Jesus Led Away to Pilate (Mt 27:1, 2). For the exposition of this portion, see on Joh 18:28, &c. Remorse and Suicide of Judas (Mt 27:3-10). This portion is peculiar to Matthew. On the progress of guilt in the traitor, see on Mr 14:1-11; Joh 13:21-30. 3.
