ACTS 13:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.”
Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed — the Roman trial narrative is compressed here to emphasize the Jerusalem council's agency in seeking Jesus' death, while acknowledging Pilate's formal role. The phrase no proper ground (aitia thanatou) highlights the injustice of the crucifixion, even as Luke notes the fulfillment of God's purpose.
