JOHN 18:18-28

Edersheim continues:

‘Then came a perfect hailstorm of accusations from the assembled Sanhedrists. As we picture it to ourselves, all this while the Christ stood near, perhaps behind Pilate, just within the portals of the Praetorium. And to all this clamour of charges he made no reply. It was as if the surging of the wild waves broke far beneath against the base of the rock, which, untouched, reared its head far aloft to the heavens. But as he stood in the calm silence of majesty, Pilate greatly wondered. Did this Man not even fear death; was he so conscious of innocence, so infinitely superior to those around and against him, or had he so far conquered Death, that he would not condescend to their words?’
