34. Note the solemn brevity of the introductions to John 18:34-36. Jesus demands that the responsibility of making this charge against Him be laid on the right persons. Moreover the meaning of the charge, and therefore the truth of it, would depend on the person making it. In Pilate’s sense He was not King; in another sense He was. Note that He asks for information; see on John 11:17; John 11:34.
