Jesus Delivered to Pilate | Authority in Silence – Mark 15:1–5 As Jesus is delivered to the Roman governor Pilate, He is accused, questioned, and pressured — yet He responds with calm restraint. Instead of defending Himself, Jesus chooses silence, revealing an authority that does not rely on words, power, or control.
