'Innocent' in the Bible
Or haven’t you read in the Law that on Sabbath days the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath and are innocent?
If you had known what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent.
“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said.“What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that a riot was starting instead, he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, “I am innocent of this man’s blood. See to it yourselves!”
Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of everyone’s blood,
The report of your obedience has reached everyone. Therefore I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good, yet innocent about what is evil.
For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
