"Pilate"
You say so
Possible meanings are 1) by saying this, Jesus implied that he is the King of the Jews. AT: "Yes, as you said, I am" or "Yes. It is as you said" or 2) by saying this, Jesus was saying that Pilate, not Jesus, was the one calling him the King of the Jews. AT: "You yourself have said so" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders
This can be stated in active form. AT: "But when the chief priests and elders accused him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
Do you not hear all the charges against you?
Pilate asks this question because he is surprised that Jesus remains silent. AT: "I am surprised that you do not answer these people who accuse you of doing bad things!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed
"Word" here is a synocdoche for "response" or "answer." AT: "not even one word of response; this greatly amazed the governor" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
