John 18:30 YLT

²⁸  They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

²⁹  Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, 'What accusation do ye bring against this man?'

³⁰  they answered and said to him, 'If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.'

³¹  Pilate, therefore, said to them, 'Take ye him -- ye -- and according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to him, 'It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;'

³²  that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.
