Yochanan 18:23-34 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

23. Yeshua answered him, “If I have spoken evil, testify of the evil; but if well, why do you beat me?”

24. Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the high priest.

25. Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, “You aren’t also one of his disciples, are you?”He denied it and said, “I am not.”

26. One of the servants of the high priest, being a relative of him whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?”

27. Peter therefore denied it again, and immediately the rooster crowed.

28. They led Yeshua therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn’t enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

29. Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”

30. They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

31. Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.”Therefore the Judeans said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”

32. that the word of Yeshua might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

33. Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Yeshua, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

34. Yeshua answered him, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
