3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “You are the King of the Jews?” And He answering him, said, “You say [it].”
4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitude, “I find no fault in this Man”;

and they were the more urgent, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea—having begun from Galilee—to this place.”
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

and having known that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him back to Herod, he also being in Jerusalem in those days.

said to them, “You brought this Man to me as perverting the people, and behold, I having examined [Him] before you, found no fault in this Man in those things you bring forward against Him;
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, see, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
no, neither Herod, for he sent Him back to us, and behold, nothing worthy of death is having been done by Him;

and when they came to the place that is called “[Place] of [the] Skull,” there they crucified Him and the evildoers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done nothing amiss.
And we indeed justly, for we are receiving back [things] worthy of what we did, but this One did nothing out of place”;
42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
and he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Lord, when You may come in Your kingdom”;
