When the chief priests and officers saw Him The phrase highlights the religious leaders and temple guards who were responsible for maintaining order and upholding Jewish law. The Greek word for "chief priests" is "ἀρχιερεῖς" (archiereis), indicating those of high priestly rank, who were influential in the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. Historically, these leaders were often in conflict with Jesus due to His teachings and actions, which challenged their authority and interpretations of the law.

Go, do your deed of blood by your own hands, take all the responsibility; for I find no crime in him. Pilate thus derides their powerlessness, and repeats his verdict of acquittal (see John 18:31).
