MATTHEW 27:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.”
But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed. The silence that produces the governor's amazement: Pilate has never encountered a prisoner who would not respond to accusations. The amazement communicates the supernatural character of the silence — it is not the silence of the guilty who cannot defend themselves but the silence of the one who chooses not to.
