Jesus Delivered to Pilate

Matthew 27:1-2

1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

The account of Jesus being delivered to Pontius Pilate is found in all four Gospels: Matthew 27:1-2, 11-26, Mark 15:1-15, Luke 23:1-25, and John 18:28-40. This event marks the beginning of Jesus’ formal trial before the Roman governor.

1. Jesus Before the Sanhedrin: After His arrest, Jesus was tried by the Jewish religious leaders (the Sanhedrin). They accused Him of blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of God.
2. Delivered to Pilate:

• Because the Jewish authorities lacked the legal authority to carry out a death sentence under Roman rule, they brought Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea.

• The charge they presented to Pilate was not blasphemy but treason, claiming that Jesus declared Himself to be a king, thus opposing Caesar.
