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.”
