11. Thou couldest —rather, "shouldst." have no power at all against me —neither to crucify nor to release, nor to do anything whatever against Me [BENGEL]. except it were —"unless it had been." given thee from above —that is, "Thou thinkest too much of thy power, Pilate: against Me that power is none, save what is meted out to thee by special divine appointment, for a special end." therefore he that delivered me unto thee —Caiaphas, too wit—but he only as representing the Jewish authorities as a body. hath the greater sin —as having better opportunities and more knowledge of such matters. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-12" class="com-number"
