Answer Details
When Pilate asked Jesus if He was the king of the Jews, Jesus replied, "You have said so." This response is recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (27:11), indicating that Jesus neither confirmed nor denied that He was the king of the Jews. Instead, He allowed Pilate to draw his own conclusion based on the evidence presented to him. This response is sometimes interpreted as a way of acknowledging that Pilate was the one in power at the moment and that he had the authority to make the final decision.
