One of the servants of the Kohen Gadol, being a relative of him whose ear Kefa cut off, said, "Didn't I see you in the garden with him?"
27
Kefa therefore denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
28
They led Yeshua therefore from Kayafa into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Pesach.
29
Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
30
They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you."
31
Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law." Therefore the Yehudim said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
32
that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
33
Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Yehudim?"
34
Yeshua answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?"
35
Pilate answered, "I'm not a Yehudi, am I? Your own nation and the chief Kohanim delivered you to me. What have you done?"
36
Yeshua answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Yehudim. But now my kingdom is not from here."
