the governor

"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

"one word; this greatly amazed the governor"
