SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:22
Y l les dijo la tercera vez: ¿Por qu? ¿Qu mal ha hecho ste? Ninguna culpa de muerte he hallado en l; le castigar, pues, y le soltar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 23:22
Verse 22. I have found no cause of death in him] I find no crime worthy of death in him. There is nothing proved against him that can at all justify me in putting him to death, So here our blessed Lord was in the most formal manner justified by his judge. Now as this decision was publicly known, and perhaps registered, it is evident that Christ died as an innocent person, and not as a malefactor. On the fullest conviction of his innocence, his judge pronounced him guiltless, after having patiently heard every thing that the inventive malice of these wicked men could allege against him; and, when he wished to dismiss him, a violent mob took and murdered him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. And he said unto them the third time , etc.] After Christ had been sent back to him from Herod; for he had declared before he had sent him to him, that he found no fault in him, ( John 18:38). Why, what evil hath he done ? what capital crime has he committed? is he guilty of murder? or sedition? or blasphemy? or robbery, and theft? or any other enormous a crime? I have found no cause of death in him ; why he should be put to death at all; and much less to this shameful and painful death of the cross, which was the punishment of slaves, and of the vilest of men, which they were desirous of: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go ; this he said, not as if he was determined to do it, whether they liked it, or not; but as signifying what he willed, or chose, and hoped they would be contented with, that he should be scourged, or beaten, and dismissed, as he at first proposed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-25 - The fear of man brings many into this snare, that they will do a unjust thing, against their consciences, rather than get into trouble Pilate declares Jesus innocent, and has a mind to release him; yet, to please the people, he would punish him as an evil-doer. If no fault be found in him, why chastise him? Pilate yielded at length; he had no courage to go against so strong a stream. He delivered Jesus to their will, to be crucified.
