John 18:29-31

International Standard Version

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^[a] told him, “It is not legal for us to put anyone to death.”
