Matthew 27:11 - 27:14

Gospel of Matthew
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg

In this passage from Matthew 27:11-14, Steve Gregg analyzes the conversation between Jesus and Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. Pilate questions Jesus about the accusations against him and whether he is the king of the Jews, to which Jesus responds that his kingdom is not of this world. Despite the claims made by the Jews that Jesus is a threat to Roman government, Pilate does not find Jesus guilty and marvels at his refusal to respond to the accusations against him. Gregg's analysis highlights the historical and legal implications of the exchange between Jesus and Pilate, shedding light on the cultural context of the time.
