John 18:28-30

Christian Standard Bible

Jesus before Pilate

²⁸ Then^(A) they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters.^(B) It was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters themselves; otherwise they would be defiled and unable to eat the Passover.

²⁹ So Pilate^(C) came out to them and said, “What charge^(D) do you bring against this man?”

³⁰ They answered him, “If this man weren’t a criminal,^[a] we wouldn’t have handed him over to you.”
