John 18:28-32
Jesus Before Pilate
28aThen they *led Jesus from bCaiaphas into cthe 1Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into dthe 2Praetorium so that ethey would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29aTherefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30They answered and said to him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.” 31So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32in order that athe word of Jesus which He spoke would be fulfilled, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.
