SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:20
Y les habl otra vez Pilato, queriendo soltar a Jess.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus , etc.] Being more and more convinced of his innocence; and still seeing more clearly into the wickedness, malice, and envy of his accusers; and having received a message from his wife: spake again to them ; putting it again to them, which he should release; asking them what he should do with Jesus; plainly signifying his mind, that he thought him innocent, and that it would be right to let him go. The Ethiopic version represents him, saying, will ye that I save for you, or release to you the Lord Jesus?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-25 - The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do a unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had no courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.
