Commentary on John 18:38

Theological / Devotional

What is truth? Pilate was impressed with Jesus’ words and would have listened to further instruction, but the mob outside was clamoring for a decision, and Pilate did not pause for an answer, and so passed by a golden opportunity. Like Felix, he was waiting for a more favorable season (Acts 24:25). If any was later granted him of Heaven, it was neglected as was this one. Pilate died some years later, a suicide (see on Matt. 27:24).

No fault. Pilate was convinced of Jesus’ innocence and should have set about immediately to release Him.
