28 Then they led Yeshua from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not enter the Praetorium, so they would not become unclean but might eat the Passover.
29 Therefore Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?”
30 They answered, “If He weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have handed Him over to you.”
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him by your Torah!” The Judean leaders responded, “We are not authorized to put anyone to death.”
32 This happened so that the word Yeshua spoke would be fulfilled, signifying what kind of death He was about to die.
33 So Pilate went back into the Praetorium, called for Yeshua, and asked Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34 “Are you saying this on your own,” Yeshua answered, “or did others tell you about Me?”
