2And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King. 3And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it . Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. 5And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee to this place. 6When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man was a Galilaean.

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
