13. And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and the rulers, and the people,
14. said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against him;
15. no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo, nothing worthy of death is having been done by him;
