John 18:30-32

New King James Version

³⁰ They answered and said to him, “If He were not ^[a]an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”

³¹ Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.”

Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” ^32 (A)that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, ^(B)signifying by what death He would die.
