Wuest writes "Swete says: “The Lord preserves a strict silence, as He had done when false witnesses had given contradictory evidence before Caiaphas. (BORROW Mark in the Greek New Testament for the English reader PAGE 276) Gilbrant - Pilate was in a dilemma. He could find no reason to pursue Jesus' trial. At the same time, he knew it would be disadvantageous politically to discharge a prisoner who refused to even plead not guilty. (Complete Biblical Library) Mark 15:5 But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed. Jesus: Isa 53:7 Joh 19:9 Pilate: Ps 71:7 Isa 8:18 Zec 3:8 Mt 27:14 1Co 4:9 Mark 15 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries See Table with Parallel Passages to Mark 15:1 See Table with Parallel Passages to Mark 15:2 Related Passages: Mt 27:14 And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed. (N7) PILATE SHOCKED THAT JESUS MAKES NO DEFENSE But Jesus made no further answer; so Pilate was amazed - Although Matthew and Mark do not record Pilate's first not guilty verdict (see above) against Jesus, they do record a subsequent barrage of repeated accusations against Jesus in an attempt to force Pilate to reverse his verdict of "not guilty" (cf Lk 23:4, Jn 18:38). In stark contrast to the angry lying accusations of the Jews, Jesus is majestically silent! No further answer is a strong double negative indicating Jesus was completely silent! And Pilate's reaction was that he was amazed (thaumazo)! Pilate marveled that such an obviously innocent man would not even defend himself. Pilate is marveling that the Jews are falsely accusing Him of crimes that would warrant the death penalty and yet He offered no self-defense (cf Mk 15:4 See how many charges they bring against You!)! In truth, He did not have to because Pilate had already declared Him not guilty (Lk 23:4, Jn 18:38). It is notable that amazed is in the present tense indicating that Pilate " continued to feel wonder and astonishment at the refusal of Jesus to bring any pressure to bear on the governor in His own behalf. He recognized it as a difficult thing to do, and he somehow admired Jesus for it. It did not lead Pilate to conclude that Jesus was guilty as charged." (Hiebert) Wuest writes "To Pilate this self-restraint was incomprehensible; he invited answers from the Prisoner, and, when He remained silent, expressed great astonishment.” Expositors remarks: “The governor had never seen a prisoner like this before. He does not believe Him to be a political pretender, but he sees that He is a remarkable man, and feels that he must proceed cautiously, groping his way amid the parties and passions of this strange people.”" (BORROW Mark in the Greek New Testament for the English reader PAGE 276)

Wuest writes "The word “granted ” is dōreō “to freely give.” After satisfying himself officially that Jesus was dead, Pilate freely gave His body to Joseph, not out of any feeling of generosity, but because he would be rid of this most inconvenient and troublesome affair." (BORROW Mark in the Greek New Testament for the English reader PAGE 286) Mark 15:46 Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. took Him down: Mt 27:59,60 Lu 23:53 John 19:38-42 and laid Him in a tomb: Isa 53:9 which had been hewn out in the rock: Isa 22:16 rolled a stone against the entrance: Mk 16:3,4 Mt 27:60 28:2 John 11:38 Mark 15 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: Matthew 27:59; 60 And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60 and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against the entrance of the tomb and went away. Luke 23:53 And he took it down and wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid Him in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had ever lain. John 19:38-42 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39 Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. Tomb Hewn out of Rock JESUS BURIAL IN A TOMB WITH STONE DOOR Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down wrapped Him in the linen cloth - John 19:38 says after ' Pilate granted permission" Joseh "came and took away His body. Joseph was aided by "Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews." (Jn 19:39-40) There was no embalming of bodies so Nicodemus brought "a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight." Took Him down - This is an important act by Joseph because Romans would let the bodies of crucified criminals rot on the cross and not even bury them! One needed to obtain permission to bury someone. Joseph had jumped that first hurdle, but now taking the body down would have been no small task, for Jesus was impaled with iron spikes up to one inch thick in His hands and feet. And the "dead weight" of Jesus' body as a full grown man would have been fairly heavy for a single individual. How Jesus was removed from the nails is not clear. Apparently Joseph carried out the removal of Jesus' body from the Cross by himself, for Nicodemus did not join him until he had brought Jesus' body to the tomb (Jn 19:39). Imagine, lovingly removing the hands and feet from the iron spikes and carrying the bloodied body of the Creator in your hands as you walked probably many yards to the site of the tomb! What thoughts must have coursed through Joseph's grieving mind as he carried out this labor of love! As G. Campbell Morgan said "No hand but the hand of love ever touched the dead body of Jesus."
