2. He spoke to the Jewish Council members to reconsider their charge made against the Lord Jesus.

“Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them. But they shouted, saying, ‘Crucify Him, crucify Him!’ Then he said to them the third time, ‘Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go.’”

Luke 23:20-22
