Jesus Before Pilate
28 (A)Then they *led Jesus from (B)Caiaphas into (C)the [a]Praetorium, and it was early; and they themselves did not enter into (D)the [b]Praetorium so that (E)they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 (F)Therefore Pilate went out to them and *said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him to you.” 31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” 32 in order that (G)the word of Jesus which He spoke would be fulfilled, signifying by what kind of death He was about to die.

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.
