Then Annas sent him chained to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25
But Simon Peter was still there warming himself by the fire. They said to him, Are you not one of his disciples? He said, No, I am not.
26
One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?
27
Then again Peter said, No. And straight away a cock gave its cry.
28
So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.
29
So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?
30
They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.
31
Then Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and let him be judged by your law. But the Jews said to him, We have no right to put any man to death.
32
(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)
33
Then Pilate went back into the Praetorium and sent for Jesus and said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
34
Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?
