'Cause' in the Bible

'And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do it evil four hundred years,

and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent from Cornelius unto him, said, 'Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause for which ye are present?'

and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, saying, 'By scourges let him be examined;' that he might know for what cause they were crying so against him.

and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim,

who, having examined me, were wishing to release me, because of their being no cause of death in me,

for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with you, for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
