2dly. Jesus Christ is silent and answered not, he was not silent in testifying to his Kingly and Prophetical Offices, before Pontius Pilate, 1 Tim. 6.13. why then was he silent to testify to his divine nature? the reason is, 1 Cor. 2.8. had the Princes of of the World known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory, now Jesus Christ his purpose was to dye. Neither yet did Jesus Christ lead Pilate into sin, though in this point he did not stop and prevent him; enough was said and done to have stopped him, were it but in the clearness of his innocency. But it was not effectual.
2dly. Iesus Christ is silent and answered not, he was not silent in testifying to his Kingly and Prophetical Offices, before Pontius Pilate, 1 Tim. 6.13. why then was he silent to testify to his divine nature? the reason is, 1 Cor. 2.8. had the Princes of of the World known, they would not have crucifyed the Lord of glory, now Iesus Christ his purpose was to dye. Neither yet did Iesus Christ lead Pilate into sin, though in this point he did not stop and prevent him; enough was said and done to have stopped him, were it but in the clearness of his innocency. But it was not effectual.
3. Pilate was moved, offended, huffed, because he would not answer him, nor respect him, but neglect him, therefore he speaks big to him, what? do you not know who I am? I have power to crucify thee, or to release thee. He thought to scare him with such vapouring words. But alas, what are his great vapouring words to Jesus Christ or to his Saints? The world miss their mark, when they think by such means to prevail against Jesus Christ.
