John 18:28-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jesus Before Pilate

²⁸ Early in the morning, the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. They did not enter the Praetorium themselves, so that they would not become ceremonially unclean. (They wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal.) ²⁹ So Pilate went out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?”

³⁰ They answered him, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”
