Pilatecameout againand saidto them, "Behold,I am bringingHim out to you sothat you may knowthat I findnoguiltin Him."
While he was sittingon the judgment seat,his wifesenthim [a message], saying,"Have nothingto do with that righteous Man;for last nightI sufferedgreatlyin a dreambecauseof Him."
When Pilatesawthat he was accomplishingnothing,but ratherthat a riotwas starting,he tookwaterand washedhis handsin frontof the crowd,saying,"I aminnocentof this Man'sblood;see[to that] yourselves."
saying,"I have sinnedby betrayinginnocentblood."But they said,"Whatis that to us? See[to that] yourself!"
Nowthe centurion,and thosewho were with him keeping guard overJesus,when they sawthe earthquakeand the things that were happening,became veryfrightenedand said,"Trulythiswas the Sonof God!"
ThenPilatesaidto the chief priestsand the crowds,"I findnoguiltin thisman."
"And we indeed[are suffering] justly,for we are receivingwhatwe deservefor our deeds;but this manhas donenothingwrong."
Nowwhen the centurionsawwhat had happened,he [began] praisingGod,saying,"Certainlythismanwas innocent."
ThereforePilateenteredagaininto the Praetorium,and summonedJesusand saidto Him, "Are You the Kingof the Jews?"
Pilatesaidto Him, "Whatis truth?"And when he had saidthis,he wentout againto the Jewsand saidto them, "I findnoguiltin Him.
Sowhenthe chief priestsand the officerssawHim, they criedout saying,"Crucify,crucify!"Pilatesaidto them, "TakeHim yourselvesand crucifyHim, for I findnoguiltin Him."
He madeHim who knewnosin[to be] sinon our behalf,sothat we might becomethe righteousnessof Godin Him.
For it was fittingfor us to have sucha high priest,holy,innocent,undefiled,separatedfrom sinnersand exaltedabove the heavens;
but with preciousblood,as of a lambunblemishedand spotless,[the blood] of Christ.
WHOCOMMITTEDNOSIN,NORWAS ANY DECEITFOUNDIN HIS MOUTH;
For Christalsodiedfor sinsonce for all,[the] justfor [the] unjust,sothat He might bringus to God,having been put to deathin the flesh,but made alivein the spirit;
You knowthat He appearedin orderto take awaysins;and in Him there is nosin.
