Lucas 23:4

4 Entonces Pilato declaró a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a la multitud:—No encuentro que este hombre sea culpable de nada.

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 Y comenzaron la acusación con estas palabras:—Hemos descubierto a este hombre agitando a nuestra nación. Se opone al pago de impuestos al emperador y afirma que él es el Cristo, un rey.

3 Así que Pilato le preguntó a Jesús:—¿Eres tú el rey de los judíos?—Tú mismo lo dices —respondió.

4 Entonces Pilato declaró a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a la multitud:—No encuentro que este hombre sea culpable de nada.

5 Pero ellos insistían:—Con sus enseñanzas agita al pueblo por toda Judea. Comenzó en Galilea y ha llegado hasta aquí.

6 Al oír esto, Pilato preguntó si el hombre era galileo.
