Context of Matthew 27:2

1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2And when they had bound him - He was “bound” when they took him in the garden, John 18:12. Probably when he was tried before the Sanhedrin in the palace of Caiaphas, he had been loosed from his bonds, being there surrounded by multitudes, and supposed to be safe.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 2Tiberius Caesar made Pilate the governor (or prefect) of Judea. Pilate mainly governed from Caesarea, not Jerusalem, from AD 26 to AD 36. Although he had full power in Judea, Pilate answered to the governor (or legate) of Syria. This man was the main authority in the eastern Roman Empire. The Jewish historian Josephus records several mentions of Pilate. Pilate's disrespect for the holiness of Jewish customs caused revolts.Read the comment
