John 18:28-32
Wycliffe Bible
28 Then they led Jesus to Caiaphas (from Caiaphas), into the moot hall; and it was early, and they entered not into the moot hall, that they should not be defouled, but that they should eat pask.
29 Therefore Pilate went out withoutforth to them, and said, What accusing bring ye against this man?
30 They answered, and said to him, If this were not a misdoer, we had not betaken him to thee.
31 Then Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and deem ye him, after your law. And the Jews said to him [Therefore they said to him], It is not leaveful to us to slay any man;
32 that the word of Jesus should be fulfilled, which he said, signifying by what death he should die.

New Matthew Bible
28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the hall of judgment. It was the morning, and they themselves did not go into the judgment hall lest they should be defiled, but so that they could eat the Passover lamb.
29 Pilate then went out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? 30 They answered and said to him, If he were not an evil-doer, we would not have delivered him to you.
31 Then Pilate said to them, You take him and judge him according to your own law.
Then the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. 32 This was to fulfil the words of Jesus, which he spoke signifying how he would die.

Authorized (King James) Version
28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be 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 a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 32 that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
