A Public Declaration of Innocence
Commentators stress that Pilate, the official Roman judge, publicly and unequivocally declared Jesus innocent. After a thorough examination "before you" (in front of the accusers), he found "no fault" in Jesus concerning any of the charges. Scholars note this official verdict of innocence from a Roman governor is a key point in Luke's narrative, demonstrating that Jesus was not a political revolutionary.
