'Capital' in the Bible

He said to them the third time, "Why? What evil has this man done? I have found no capital crime in him. I will therefore chastise him and release him."

Without having found Him guilty of any capital offence they urged Pilate to have Him put to death;

The commander replied, “I purchased this citizenship [of mine] for a large sum of money [so how did you acquire yours?].” Paul said, “But I was actually born a citizen.”

After they examined me, they wanted to release me, since I had not committed a capital offense.
