³⁸ Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

⁴ Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know that in him I find no fault;'

⁶ When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault in him;'

⁴ And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude, `I find no fault in this man;'

²² who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth,

²³ who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering -- was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is judging righteously,

¹⁹ but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and unspotted -- Christ's --

²⁵ and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;'

²⁶ and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him;

³² And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'

¹⁹ having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought `him', saying, `Are we able to know what `is' this new teaching that is spoken by thee,

²⁰ for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate, `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am king of the Jews;'

²² Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.'

¹⁴ said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;

¹⁵ no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;

¹⁶ having chastised, therefore, I will release him,'

¹⁴ And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;'

²⁴ And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;'

¹⁸ for he had known that because of envy they had delivered him up.

¹⁹ And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto him, saying, `Nothing -- to thee and to that righteous one, for many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.'
