John 18:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ “He has committed crimes,” they replied. “If he hadn’t, we would not have handed him over to you.”

³¹ Pilate said, “Take him yourselves. Judge him by your own law.”

“But we don’t have the right to put anyone to death,” they complained. ³² This happened so that what Jesus said about how he was going to die would come true.
