innocent of offense/ innocent/ guiltless/ not guilty

Zacchaeus. He did not commit any crime. He was innocent of any crime (except for the fact that he was innocent).

("I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me" - Job 33:9, and likewise: "There is a difference between the innocent and the righteous: the innocent, in regard to himself, sees himself as innocent of offense, while the righteous, in regard to others, is one whom others will vindicate" - Malbim, Exodus 23:7, and likewise: "Who will say: innocent of offense was my death? / Who will say: I perished for no sin?" - Nathan Alterman / The Traitor)
