Commentary on John 18:30
Theological / DevotionalMalefactor. Gr. kakopoios literally, “a doer of evil.” The word occurs elsewhere only in 1 Peter 2:12, 14; 3:16; 4:15, and in each case is translated “evildoer.” In Luke 23:32, 33, 39 “malefactor” is from kakourgos, “one who commits grave offenses.”
Delivered him. They had no formal charge they could back up with witnesses. They hoped that Pilate would accept the verdict of the Sanhedrin and sentence Jesus without a formal inquiry into the charge.
