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:
He told them, 'You brought this guy to me saying he's stirring up trouble with the people. But honestly? I've questioned him right in front of you, and I can't find anything wrong with what he's done. None of the stuff you're accusing him of checks out.'
Sometimes the person everyone's blaming is actually the most innocent one in the room.
