SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:5
Mas Jess ni aun con eso respondi; de modo que Pilato se maravillaba.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. But Jesus yet answered nothing , etc..] He still continued silent, and made no defence for himself, which the governor was willing to give him an opportunity to make, and, as his friend, urged him to it: so that Pilate marvelled ; what should be the meaning of his silence, when he was so capable of defending himself, and was so innocent, as Pilate himself was ready to believe; and yet the things he was charged with were of, the highest nature, and by persons of the greatest figure in the nation; so that his silence exposed him to a great deal of danger, which Pilate thought might easily be avoided by answering for himself; (see Gill on Matthew 27:14).
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
15:5 {Marvelled} (qaumazein). Pilate was sure of the innocence of Jesus and saw through their envy (#Mr 15:10), but he was hoping that Jesus would answer these charges to relieve him of the burden. He marvelled also at the self-control of Jesus.
