And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.

Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
