John 18:28-32
Christian Standard Bible
Jesus before Pilate
28 Then(A) they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters.(B) It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 So Pilate(C) came out to them and said, “What charge(D) 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. 32 They said this so that Jesus’s words might be fulfilled indicating what kind of death he was going to die.(E)

John 18:28-32
International Standard Version
Pilate Questions Jesus(A)
28 Then Jesus was led from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters[a] early in the morning. The Jews[b] did not go into the headquarters, to avoid becoming unclean[c] and unable to eat the Passover meal. 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 They answered him, “If he weren’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
31 Pilate told them, “You take him and try him according to your Law.”
The Jewish leaders[d] told him, “It is not legal for us to put anyone to death.” 32 This was to fulfill what Jesus had said[e] when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.
