2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
And they began to accuse him, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.
3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, You say it.
And Pilate interrogated him, and said to him: Art thou king of the Jews? He said to him: Thou hast said.
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 company: I find no crime upon this man.
5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
And they vociferated, and said: He raiseth disturbance among our people, by teaching in all Judaea, commencing from Galilee, and quite to this place.
6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
And Pilate, when he heard the name Galilee, inquired if the man were a Galilean.
7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
And Herod rejoiced greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him.

14 Said unto them, All of you have brought this man unto me, as one that perverts the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man concerning those things whereof all of you accuse him:
and said to them: Ye have brought this man before me, as a disturber of your people; and lo, I have examined him before you, and I find in the man no crime, among all that ye charge upon him.
15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
Neither yet Herod: for I sent him to him, and lo, nothing deserving death hath been done by him.
16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil has he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
And he said to them the third time: But, what evil hath he done? I find no crime in him deserving of death. I will scourge him, therefore, and release him.
23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
But they were urgent, with a loud voice; and demanded of him, that they might crucify him.
