Pilate asked Jesus ''What is the truth?'' and Jesus replied to him ''So you say''.
Pilate asked Jesus, "What is truth?"
Actually he did not answer Pilots questions, which amazed Pilot.
Read about Jesus' reply to the 3 questions of Pilate in the Gospel of John, ch.18 and vs. 13 to 38. Please note that Jesus did not reply to the third question as Pilate did not require it.
Yes Pontius Pilate was the governor , so he had all power to question, sentence to death or release a person, he questioned Jesus.
Pilate was the Roman governor of Judea at the time of Jesus' ministry and Barabbas was a convicted murder. Pilate offered to release either Jesus or Barabbas assuming the crowd would respond reasonably and ask for Jesus' release. The mob chose Barabbas, and they called for Jesus to be crucified (Luke 23).
Jesus came before Pilate on the Friday morning of the day He was crucified.
Pontius Pilate was able to sentence Jesus to death because he had the authority to do so. Pilate was the procurator, or assistant to the governor of Syria, who was in charge of Judaea at the time of Jesus. Pilate acted in the name of the governor, who, in turn, acted in the name of the emperor.Pontius Pilate was able to sentence Jesus to death because he had the authority to do so.

Historically and Biblically, this question can be very hard to . It is my opinion that the trial of Jesus never happen, and the death of Jesus cannot be blamed on the Pharisses or Pontius Pilate. Neither one killed Jesus. Jesus was predestined by God to die on the cross, and God used the Pharisses, Pontius Pilate and Judas to accomplish this.
Pontius Pilate was the Roman official who reluctantly sentenced Jesus to death.
Jesus said something.
Jesus was a bit cryptic over the question of whether or not He was a "king"... but He did answer Pilate: "...Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto Him, Thou sayest." (Matt.27:11) "...Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth. Every one that is of the Truth heareth My voice. Pilate saith unto Him, What is Truth?..." (John 18:37-38). It was the Jews whom He didn't answer: "And when He was accused of the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing." (verse 12) Jesus didn't answer Pilate on his question about "Truth," however.
If you read John 19:10 this will help you to see that Jesus knew full well that Pilate had the authority to release him or put him to death. Ultimately Jesus was condemned and executed at the hand or order of Pilate.
