Jesus answered him, Say you this thing of yourself, or did others tell it you of me?
Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?

Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
Sayest thou this thing of thyself - That is, Is it because my enemies thus accuse me, or because thou hast any suspicion of me, that thou askest this question?
Of thyself - From any conviction of your own mind, or any apprehension of danger. During all the time in which you have been praetor, have you seen anything in me that has led you to apprehend sedition or danger to the Roman power? This evidently was intended to remind Pilate that nothing was proved against him, and to caution him against being influenced by the malicious accusations of others. Jesus demanded a just trial, and claimed that Pilate should not be influenced by any reports that he might have heard of him.
