And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. (4) Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. (5) And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all 5 Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place. (6) When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilæan. (7) And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. (8) And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped 8 to have seen some miracle done by him. (9) Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing. (10) And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him. (11) And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in 9 a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate. (12) And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves. § 148. Pilate seeks to release Jesus. The Jews demand Barabbas.— JERUSALEM.

(13) And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, (14) said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: (15) no, nor yet Herod for 10 I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death 11 is done unto him. : (16) I will there- 55.

(22) And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath 11 he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and 12 let him go. (23) And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And 14 the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And they cried out Crucify him. MATT. XXVII.

(5) Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple 9 robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! (6) When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. (7) The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. (8) When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; (9) and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. (10) Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have 10 power to crucify thee, and have 10 power to release thee? (11) Jesus answered, Thou 11 couldest have no 10 power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee 1 15. wishing 2 16. within the court, which is the Prætorium, or, palace 8 27,9. palace: Gr.

(14) And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! (15) But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Cæsar. (16) Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. § 151.
