Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 13:28

28 And tho they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

Matth. 27.22. The Iews did condemn him, but they could not put him to death; the Romans, under whom they were subject, having reserved the power of life and death wholly unto themselves, and therefore they desired Pilate to confirm the[illegible: 2 letters] sentence, and to cause it to be executed.
