MARK 15:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?”
Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews? asked Pilate — Pilate's offer of Jesus under the king of the Jews title communicates his assessment of the situation: he sees this as a religious dispute about a harmless claimant to Jewish messiahship, not a genuine political threat. The offer is intended to outmaneuver the chief priests.
