Saint Luke - Chapter 23

| Jesus led back to Pilate. J-J Tissot |
And Herod with his army set him at nought, and mocked him, putting on him a white garment, and sent him back to Pilate.
[12] Et facti sunt amici Herodes et Pilatus in ipsa die : nam antea inimici erant ad invicem.
And Herod and Pilate were made friends, that same day; for before they were enemies one to another.
[13] Pilatus autem, convocatis principibus sacerdotum, et magistratibus, et plebe,
And Pilate, calling together the chief priests, and the magistrates, and the people,
[14] dixit ad illos : Obtulistis mihi hunc hominem, quasi avertentem populum, et ecce ego coram vobis interrogans, nullam causam inveni in homine isto ex his in quibus eum accusatis.
Said to them: You have presented unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people; and behold I, having examined him before you, find no cause in this man, in those things wherein you accuse him.
[15] Sed neque Herodes : nam remisi vos ad illum, et ecce nihil dignum morte actum est ei.
No, nor Herod neither. For I sent you to him, and behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him.
[16] I will chastise him therefore, and release him.
Emendatum ergo illum dimittam.
From The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by J-J Tissot (1897)
Pilate, warned of the return of Jesus, again appears upon the Judgment Seat to harangue the Jews and to tell them, no one contradicting him, that he has examined the accused and found Him innocent, thus convicting his hearers of hypocrisy and untruth. But in spite of all this, the Governor,s fear of the people makes him yield one iniquitous concession after another, until at last the death of the Just One is brought about. Already, although Pilate has "found no fault" in the Prisoner, he permits Him to be scourged.
Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
Ad Jesum per Mariam
