Verse 1. It was customary with the Jews to bind and deliver over to the Roman governors those whom they had condemned in their own councils; but we must not suppose that this was the first time they bound Jesus; for, as Saint John informs us, when first they apprehended him, they put manacles upon him. Ven. Bede.
