So much for Pilates 4th. Act. his 5th. Act followeth.
Luk. 23.13, 14, 15, 16. And Pilate when he had called together the chief Priests, & the Rulers, and the people, said unto them, 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. I will therefore chastise him and release him.
1. Herod sent Jesus back unto Pilate, ver. 11. so mocked, derided, abused as as above-said, but withal intimated that he found nothing proved against him, as Pilate himself anon declareth. Therefore Pilate calleth his Court again, and calleth the chief Priests and Rulers, his accusers, who were ready enough; and the people; an open Court, because justice must proceed openly, not clandestinely, as the chief Priests, Scribes and Pharisees did in their Court when they condemned Jesus. The Roman proceeded openly and honourably in his Court, and in the management of this matter thus far.
