Commentary on Matthew 27:11
Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest (Σὺ λέγεις)—Pilate's question addressed the political charge: sedition against Caesar. Jesus's enigmatic response (su legeis, 'you say') neither denies nor affirms in Pilate's terms, for Christ's kingdom is 'not of this world' (John 18:36).This was Rome's cognitio procedure—a magistrate's investigation without jury. As praefectus (prefect), Pilate held ius gladii (right of the sword), absolute power over capital cases. Yet here stands the true King before an earthly governor, sovereign over His own trial.
