John 18:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ Their answer was, “We would not have brought him to you if he had not committed a crime.”

³¹ Pilate said to them, “Then you yourselves take him and try him according to your own law.”

They replied, “We are not allowed to put anyone to death.” (^32 (A)This happened in order to make come true what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he would die.)
