• Jesus did not say anything in his defence when Pilate questioned him; this surprised Pilate and gave him no real reason to charge him.
• Pilate knew that the only reason the Jewish authorities had handed Jesus over to him was because they were jealous of him, not because Jesus had committed any crime.
• Pilate was aware that Jesus was very popular with the people and might have wanted to avoid any action that could cause trouble.
• Pilate received a message from his wife, who had been troubled by a dream, confirming that Jesus was innocent.
