Lucas 23:4

4 Pilato se dirigió a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud y les dijo:
—¡No encuentro ningún delito en este hombre!

Lucas 23:4 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:4

Then said Pilate to the Chief priests, and to the people,
&c.] Both to the sanhedrim, and to the mob that were gathered together about the governor's palace on this occasion; and who were standing without the judgment hall, into which they would not enter, lest they should be defiled, and be unfit to eat the passover: wherefore Pilate came out to them; and this was the second time of his coming out to them, when he said the following words, ( John 18:28 John 18:38 ) .

I find no fault in this man;
no cause, or reason, why any punishment should be inflicted on him, and especially he be put to death; no crime that can be fastened on him, or accusation proved against him, or any thing that amounts to a charge of sedition: the man is an harmless and innocent man, that has done nothing against Caesar, or the government, and good of the nation; and therefore is not worthy of death, or of stripes, but should be discharged. This was Pilate's sense.

Lucas 23:4 In-Context

2 Comenzaron a presentar su caso: «Este hombre ha estado llevando al pueblo por mal camino al decirles que no paguen los impuestos al gobierno romano y al afirmar que él es el Mesías, un rey».

3 Entonces Pilato le preguntó:
—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?
Jesús contestó:

4 Pilato se dirigió a los principales sacerdotes y a la multitud y les dijo:
—¡No encuentro ningún delito en este hombre!

5 Pero insistían:
—Con sus enseñanzas causa disturbios por donde va, en toda Judea, desde Galilea hasta Jerusalén.

6 —Ah, ¿es galileo? —preguntó Pilato.
