Professing ignorance of the facts about Jess but desiring to learn them, Pilate replies: "I am not a Jew, am I?" He adds: "Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What did you do?" -JOHN 18:35.
Jesus does not attempt to dodge the central issue-kingship. He answers in a way that no doubt greatly surprises Governor Pilate.
THE FIELD OF BLOOD
The chief priest are not sure what to do with the silver pieces that Judas throws into the temple. "It is not lawful to put them into sacred treasury," they say, "because they are the price of blood." So they used the money to purchase the potter's field in which to bury strangers. It comes to be called the "Field of Blood." - MATTHEW 27:6-8.
