There are times when silence is needed more than an answer.

Governor Pilate asked Jesus,

"Are you the King of the Jews?"
Jesus answered, "Yes, it is as you say,"
but when the chief priests and elders

brought accusations against Him,
He did not answer a word.
Then Pilate asked Him,

"Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?"
But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge,
to the great amazement of the governor.
(Matthew 27:11-14, Korean Modern Bible).
Why did Jesus, the King of the Jews,
not respond at all to the accusations

of the Jewish high priests and elders?
Even though Jesus heard all their testimony,
He did not answer a single word.
From the perspective of the Roman governor Pilate,
this must have seemed very strange.
When the false accusations of anti-Christians are made,
and there is no reply at all,
the world may indeed find it quite strange.
It seems that there are times

when silence is needed more than an answer.
