John 18:34

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Jesus answered him, sayest thou this thing of thyself,.... That he was the king of the Jews: Christ's meaning is, whether he asserted this from the sentiments of his own mind; or moved the question from anything he himself had observed, which might give him just ground to suspect that he had, or intended to set up himself as the king of that nation:or did others tell it thee of me?

Whether the Jews had not intimated some such thing to him, out of malice and ill will?
