And Pilate asked him, art thou the king of the Jews? etc..] Which either he had heard before that it was said by him, and his followers; or was what the Jews now suggested to him as his crime, which they desired sentence of death might pass upon him: and he answering, said unto him, thou sayest it; which is all one as if he had said, I am; (see Gill on “<402625>Matthew 26:25”); for so he was in a sense, in which he explained himself to Pilate's satisfaction, (<431836>John 18:36,37); (see Gill on “<402711>Matthew 27:11”).
