Jesus and Paul

The Roman Pilate couldn’t find any basis for charge against Jesus to kill him

So he said “I find no basis for a charge against this man” (Lk. 23:4, 14-15, 22).

So he tried to release Jesus (vv. 16, 20).

But the Jews kept shouting, “Crucify him!  Crucify him!” (vv. 21, 23)

The Romans examined Paul and wanted to release him,

because he wasn’t guilty of any crime deserving death.

But the Jews objected (Acts 28:18-19).
