Luke Study Notes—Chapter 23

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 23:3
  
  Are you the King of the Jews?: All four Gospel accounts record the same question by Pilate in precisely the same words. (Mt 27:11; Mr 15:2; Lu 23:3; Joh 18:33) No king in the Roman Empire could rule without Caesar’s consent. So Pilate apparently concentrated his interrogation on the issue of Jesus’ kingship.
  
  You yourself are saying it: See study note on Mt 27:11.
