Page 309 - 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 : No, nor yet Herod : for I sent you to him ; and lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
