John 18:31-33

Evangelical Heritage Version

³¹ Pilate told them, “Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.”

The Jews said, “It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death.” ³² This happened so that the statement Jesus had spoken indicating what kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled.

³³ Pilate went back into the Praetorium and summoned Jesus. He asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
