Jesus Brought Before the Crowd
13 Then[a] Pilate called together the chief priests, the[b] leaders, and the people, 14 and said to them, “You brought me this man as one who was misleading[c] the people. When I examined him before you, I[d] did not find this man guilty[e] of anything you accused him of doing. 15 Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, he has done nothing[f] deserving death.[g]
