Luke 23:13-16

13Pilate summoned the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

14and said to them, “You brought this man before me as one who corrupts and incites the people to rebellion. After examining Him before you, I have found no guilt in this Man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

15No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and indeed, He has done nothing to deserve death.

16Therefore I will punish Him [to teach Him a lesson] and release Him.”
