26
One of the servants of the high priest (being the kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off) saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
27
Peter then denied again, and immediately the cock crowed.
28
Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment-hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
29
Pilate then went out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
30
They answered and said to him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31
Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
32
That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what death he should die.
33
Then Pilate entered into the judgment-hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34
Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing from thyself, or did others tell it thee concerning me?
35
Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee to me: What hast thou done?
36
Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
