30. They answered him, “If this man weren’t a criminal, we wouldn’t have handed Him over to you.”
31. So Pilate told them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your law.”“It’s not legal for us to put anyone to death,” the Jews declared.
32. They said this so that Jesus’ words might be fulfilled signifying what kind of death He was going to die.
33. Then Pilate went back into the headquarters, summoned Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews? ”
34. Jesus answered, “Are you asking this on your own, or have others told you about Me? ”
