Then<n id="1" /> Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, &#8220;I find no basis for an accusation<n id="2" /> against this man.&#8221;

A third time he said to them, &#8220;Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty<n id="1" /> of no crime deserving death.<n id="2" /> I will therefore flog<n id="3" /> him and release him.&#8221;

and said to them, &#8220;You brought me this man as one who was misleading<n id="1" /> the people. When I examined him before you, I<n id="2" /> did not find this man guilty<n id="3" /> of anything you accused him of doing.
