John 18:28-32

28 They led Yeshua from Kayafa to the governor's headquarters. By now it was early morning. They did not enter the headquarters building because they didn't want to become ritually defiled and thus unable to eat the Pesach meal.

29 So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What charge are you bringing against this man?"

30 They answered, "If he hadn't done something wrong, we wouldn't have brought him to you."

31 Pilate said to them, "You take him and judge him according to your own law." The Judeans replied, "We don't have the legal power to put anyone to death."

32 This was so that what Yeshua had said, about how he was going to die, might be fulfilled.
