SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:2
Y Pilato le pregunt: ¿Eres t el Rey de los Judíos? Y respondiendo l, le dijo: T lo dices.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And Pilate asked him, art thou the king of the Jews ? etc..] Which either he had heard before that it was said by him, and his followers; or was what the Jews now suggested to him as his crime, which they desired sentence of death might pass upon him: and he answering, said unto him, thou sayest it ; which is all one as if he had said, I am; (see Gill on Matthew 26:25); for so he was in a sense, in which he explained himself to Pilate's satisfaction, ( John 18:36,37); (see Gill on Matthew 27:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - They bound Christ. It is good for us often to remember the bonds of the Lord Jesus, as bound with him who was bound for us. By delivering u the King, they, in effect, delivered up the kingdom of God, which was therefore, as by their own consent, taken from them, and given to another nation. Christ gave Pilate a direct answer, but would no answer the witnesses, because the things they alleged were known to be false, even Pilate himself was convinced they were so. Pilate though that he might appeal from the priests to the people, and that the would deliver Jesus out of the priests' hands. But they were more an more urged by the priests, and cried, Crucify him! Crucify him! Let u judge of persons and things by their merits, and the standard of God' word, and not by common report. The thought that no one ever was s shamefully treated, as the only perfectly wise, holy, and excellen Person that ever appeared on earth, leads the serious mind to stron views of man's wickedness and enmity to God. Let us more and more abho the evil dispositions which marked the conduct of these persecutors.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
15:2 {Art thou the King of the Jews?} (su ei ho basileus twn ioudaiwn;). this is the only one of the charges made by the Sanhedrin to Pilate (#Lu 23:2) that he notices. He does not believe this one to be true, but he has to pay attention to it or be liable to charges himself of passing over a man accused of rivalry and revolution against Caesar. #Joh 18:28-32 gives the interview with Jesus that convinces Pilate that he is a harmless religious fanatic. See on Mt 26:11. {Thou sayest} (su legeis). An affirmation, though in #Joh 18:34-37 there is a second and fuller interview between Pilate and Jesus. "Here, as in the trial before the Sanhedrin, this is the one question that Jesus answers. It is the only question on which his own testimony is important and necessary" (Gould). The Jews were out on the pavement or sidewalk outside the palace while Pilate came out to them from above on the balcony (#Joh 18:28f.) and had his interviews with Jesus on the inside, calling Jesus thither (#Joh 18:33).
