Why

and said, "I have sinned, in betraying to death one who is innocent." "What does that matter to us?" they replied; it is your business."

Pilate said to the High Priests and to the crowd, "I can find no crime in this man."

"What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.

As soon then as the High Priests and the officers saw Him, they shouted "To the cross! To the cross!" "Take him yourselves and crucify him," said Pilate; "for I, at any rate, find no crime in him."

Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;

but with the precious blood of Christ--as of an unblemished and spotless lamb.

And

"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"

But they urgently insisted, demanding with frantic outcries that He should be crucified; and their clamour prevailed.

Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."

As they listened to these words, they became infuriated and gnashed their teeth at him.

No sooner, however, did they see that he was a Jew, than there arose from them all one roar of shouting, lasting about two hours. "Great is the Ephesian Diana," they said.

Until they heard this last statement the people listened to Paul, but now with a roar of disapproval they cried out, "Away with such a fellow from the earth! He ought not to be allowed to live."
