His lack of royal grooming reflects the emotional distress he faced while David was away, reaffirming a theme of loyalty amidst betrayal.

  • John 19:12-15 meaning. The Jews' Blasphemy: "We Have No King but Caesar." Pilate made efforts to release Jesus, but the Jews put him in a diabolical bind by framing his choose as to either support Caesar or betray him. Pilate ends the trial from his Judgment Seat. He gives the Jews a diabolical dilemma of their own when He presents Jesus and says: "Behold Your King." This forces the Jews to either accept Jesus as their King (in order to crucify Him) or deny that He is their King and admit that He is innocent of their charges. Rather than do either, the chief priests choose to blaspheme, saying "We have no King but Caesar." Their blasphemy all but seals Jesus's conviction. This event is part of the third phase of Jesus's Civil Trial. This phase is called: "Pilate's Judgment."
