When Jesus Christ was brought before the Pilate for sentencing, Pilate saw no crime that Jesus had committed by declaring himself the king, however, the people who had gathered and expected a harsh sentence from the Pilate were not excited by the ruling and the only intention they had was to Kill him and have Barnabas released. The phrase "The falcon cannot hear the falconer" refers to the people who refused to adhere to the ruling of the Pilate and instead wanted their will of killing Jesus executed. Pilate acted as the highest Jury whereby his decisions were final regarding the cases brought before him. However, when he declared Jesus innocent, the multitude chanted demanding the release of Barnabas in exchange for Jesus' life. When the author says that "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world" he meant that the ruling by the leader was disregarded by the people who wanted their will executed. In the fulfillment of the people's will, Jesus was crucified having not committed crime that deserved such punishment concerning the authority. The declaration of Jesus' innocence portrays the duke as a good negotiator thought the will of the people overrode his verdicts.
