28 ^qThen they led Jesus ^rfrom the house of Caiaphas to ^sthe governor’s headquarters.¹ It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor’s headquarters, ^tso that they would not be defiled, ^ubut could eat the Passover. 29 ^vSo Pilate went outside to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?” 30 They answered him, “If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.” 31 Pilate said to them, ^w“Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.” 32 ^xThis was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken ^yto show by what kind of death he was going to die.
