⁴ And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

³⁸ Pilate said to him, True? what is true? Having said this he went out again to the Jews and said to them, I see no wrong in him.

⁶ So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the people, In my opinion this man has done no wrong.

⁵ And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

²² Who did no evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth:

¹⁹ But through holy blood, like that of a clean and unmarked lamb, even the blood of Christ:

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

²¹ For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

⁴⁷ And when the captain saw what was done, he gave praise to God, saying, Without doubt this was an upright man.

⁴¹ And with reason; for we have the right reward of our acts, but this man has done nothing wrong.

⁵⁴ Now the captain and those who were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth-shock and the things which were done, were in great fear and said, Truly this was a son of God.

²⁴ So when Pilate saw that he was able to do nothing, but that trouble was working up, he took water and, washing his hands before the people, said, The blood of this upright man is not on my hands: you are responsible.

¹⁹ And while he was on the judge's seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Have nothing to do with that upright man, for I have had much trouble this day in a dream because of him.

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.
