A third time he said to them, “Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty 1  of no crime deserving death. 2  I will therefore flog 3  him and release him.”

NET Notes

1 tn Grk “no cause of death I found in him.”

2 sn The refrain of innocence comes once again. Pilate tried to bring some sense of justice, believing Jesus had committed no crime deserving death.

3 tn Or “scourge” (BDAG 749 s.v. παιδεύω 2.b.γ). See the note on “flogged” in v. 16.
