John 18:28-32
1599 Geneva Bible
28 (A)[a]Then led they Jesus from [b]Caiaphas into the common hall. Now it was morning, and they themselves went not into the common hall, lest they should be (B)defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.
29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30 They answered, and said unto him, If he were not an evil doer, we would not have delivered him unto thee.
31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him after your own Law. Then the Jews said unto him, [c]It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.
32 It was that the word of Jesus (C)might be fulfilled which he spake, [d]signifying what death he should die.
