What the Fathers say

Mark 15:2

Eastern Fathers

Theophylact of Ohrid

For His answer is doubtful, since it may mean, Thou sayest, but I say not so. And observe that He does somewhere answer Pilate, who condemned Him unwillingly, but does not choose to answer the priests and great men, and judges them unworthy of a reply. It goes on: And the Chief Priests accused him of many things.

Catena Aurea by Aquinas ↗

Western Saints

Bede

By Pilate's asking Him about no other accusation, except whether He was King of the Jews, they are convicted of impiety, for they could not even find a false accusation against our Saviour. It goes on: And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest. He answers in this way so as both to speak the truth, and yet not to be open to cavil.
