Mark 15:4 Commentary and Bible Study

Pilate is amazed. Luke and john record that following an initial examination, Pilate comes out of the Praetorium and says the Jews, ‘I find no fault in this man’. As a result they launch an avalanche of accusations at Jesus, but he remains silent. He wasn’t going to defend himself against any of their silly charges. Pilate marvelled at his self-control, his courage, his bearing and his gentle disdain for all that they brought against him. ‘I find no fault with him’ – that is in the day of eternal justice what the high priests and all who were with him – the whole Sanhedrin Council – whether ultimately saved or unsaved, will be forced to acknowledge.
