Why

I have sinned in betraying the blood of the innocent: and they said, what is it to us? you must look to that.

at last Pilate said to the chief priests, and to the people, I don't find any crime in this man.

what is truth? said Pilate. and upon saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, I don't find he is guilty of any crime.

as soon as the chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out, "crucify him, crucify him." Pilate said to them, take him yourselves, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.

and indeed we wanted an high priest of such a character, one that is holy, innocent, undefiled, one that is separated from sinful men, and exalted above the heavens; one who was under no necessity,

but by the precious blood of Christ, who is the lamb without spot, and without blemish:

And

the governor said, why, what mischief has he done? but they cried out the more, let him be crucified.

but they persisted with great clamour in their demands, to have him crucified: and as the people and chief priests redoubled their clamours,

upon this, Pilate propos'd to release him: but the Jews cried out, if you let this man go, you are not Cesar's friend: he that sets up for king, opposes Cesar.

When they heard these things, they were transported with rage, and gnashed their teeth against him.

but when they knew he was a Jew, they cry'd out one and all for the space of two hours, "great is Diana of the Ephesians."

Till that word, the Jews had given their attention, but then they broke out into a full cry, "out of the world with such a fellow: for it is not fit he should live."
