- Matthew 27:11 Or, was made to stand.

Though Jesus means ‘you are saying it correctly’, He leaves Pilate to supply this intent, which he does based on the Jewish accusers. Jesus may have answered this way because ‘King of the Jews’ meant something different to Pilate than to Jesus.

New International Version
Jesus Before Pilate(A)
11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”(B)
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
