rsv@Luke:23:13 @ Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
rsv@Luke:23:14 @ and said to them, "You brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him;
rsv@Luke:23:15 @ neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him;
rsv@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise him and release him."
