<p>23:14 <i>And said to them: You brought to me this man, as one that perverts the people; and I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him</i>- Pilate may have carefully chosen his word for &quot;perverts&quot;. For it can also mean 'to bring again', specifically in repentance (s.w. Mt. 27:3 &quot;brought again&quot;, Acts 3:26 and Rom. 11:26 &quot;turning away&quot; from sin). The Lord's mission was to turn Israel away from their sin. A man of Pilate's callousness was touched to insist time and again that the Lord was without fault. We should never therefore assume that anyone is beyond the reach of His spirit and personality. &quot;No fault&quot; is a phrase used three times by Pilate about the Lord (:4,14,22). This is one of Luke's tripilisms, designed so that illiterate people could remember it more easily.</p>
