Greek Commentary for John 18:35
Proud and fine scorn on Pilate‘s part at the idea that he had a personal interest in the question. Vehement negation implied. Cf. John 4:29 for μητι mēti in a question. The gulf between Jew and Gentile yawns wide here. Nation For παρεδωκαν paredōkan see John 18:30. What hast thou done? First aorist active indicative of ποιεω poieō Blunt and curt question. “What didst thou do?” “What is thy real crime?” John‘s picture of this private interview between Pilate and Jesus is told with graphic power. [source]
As if Jesus' question implied that Pilate had been taking counsel with the Jews. [source]
