Matthew Poole and continuators on John 19:6

6 When the chief priests therefore, and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucifie hmi, crucifie him . Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucifie him: for I find no fault in him .

Our Lord findeth more compassion from Pilate, (tho an Heathen) than he found from those of his own Nation; yea, those that pretended highest to Religion amongst them▪ Pilate would have saved him, they cry out for his blood.

Pilate leaves another testimony behind him, that what he did at last overborn with a great Temptation, he did contrary to the conviction of his own conscience, and as yet declineth the guilt of innocent blood.
