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.”

Jesus Sentenced to Death
13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him; 15 neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him; 16 I will therefore chastise him and release him.”[a]
