John 18:29-31

Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ So Pilate^(A) came out to them and said, “What charge^(B) do you bring against this man?”

³⁰ They answered him, “If this man weren’t a criminal,^[a] we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”

³¹ Pilate told them, “You take him and judge him according to your law.”

“It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death,” the Jews declared.
