John

²⁸They lead Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the palace: and it was early; and they themselves entered not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. ²⁹Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? ³⁰They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. ³¹Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: ³²that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. ³³Pilate therefore entered again into the palace, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? ³⁴Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
