Greetings, Jesus was sent to Pilate by High Priest Caiaphas. The jewish leaders wanted Jesus dead, but they had no authority to kill him. So, they sent him to the one man who did: Pilate. Pilate has heard the accusers, faced the people, and was now speaking to Jesus on a one on one point. He informs Jesus that he has the authority to release him or kill him. Jesus reminds Pilate that what power he has was given to him by God. Basically, Jesus is saying that Pilate is simply put into the position to declare Jesus's fate because God appointed him. However, Pilate's not innocent. He's just doing his job. It's the ones who sent Jesus to him that are the true sinners. This includes Caiaphas, but also Annas, Judas, as well as the Sanhedrin. They used and twisted God's law into a means to murder a man who was innocent of the crimes they wanted to kill him for. Hence, that is why Jesus is saying that their sins are greater. Jalek |
