And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, “This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.”
