Pilate Seeks Jesus’ Release

¹³ Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the ^[a](A)rulers, and the people, ¹⁴ and he said to them, “You brought this man to me on the ground that ^(B)he is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I ^(C)have found no basis at all in the case of this man for the charges which you are bringing against Him. ¹⁵ No, nor has ^(D)Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him. ¹⁶ Therefore I will ^[b](E)punish Him and release Him.”
