24. And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Then they said to him, "Are you not also one of his disciples?" He denied it and said, "I am not."
26. One of the servants of the high priest (a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off) said to him, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
27. Therefore, again, Peter denied it. And immediately the rooster crowed.
28. Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas into the praetorium. Now it was morning, and so they did not enter into the praetorium, so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
29. Therefore, Pilate went outside to them, and he said, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"
30. They responded and said to him, "If he were not an evil-doer, we would not have handed him over you."
31. Therefore, Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him according to your own law." Then the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to execute anyone."
32. This was so that the word of Jesus would be fulfilled, which he spoke signifying what kind of death he would die.
33. Then Pilate entered the praetorium again, and he called Jesus and said to him, "You are the king of the Jews?"
34. Jesus responded, "Are you saying this of yourself, or have others spoken to you about me?"
35. Pilate responded: "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36. Jesus responded: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would certainly strive so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not now from here."
37. And so Pilate said to him, "You are a king, then?" Jesus answered, "You are saying that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world: so that I may offer testimony to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."
