185:7.2 But [[Jesus]] could hardly answer such [[questions]] when asked by a man-[[fearing]], [[weak]], and [[vacillating]] [[judge]] who was so unjust as to subject him to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scourge flogging] even when he had [[declared]] him [[innocent]] of all [[crime]], and before he had been duly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_(Law) sentenced] to die. [[Jesus]] looked [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] straight in the [[face]], but he did not answer him.

" Then said [[Jesus]]: " You could have no [[power]] over me except it were [[permitted]] from above.

185:7.3 This last talk with [[Jesus]] thoroughly [[frightened]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate]. This [[moral]] [[coward]] and [[judicial]] weakling now labored under the double weight of the [[superstitious]] [[fear]] of [[Jesus]] and mortal dread of the [[Jewish]] [[leaders]].

185:7.4 Again [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] [[appeared]] before the [[Mob|crowd]], saying: " I am certain this man is only a [[religious]] [[Offence|offender]].
