Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's house. It was early in the morning, and they would not go into the governor's house themselves, to avoid being ceremonially defiled and to be able to eat the Passover supper. ²⁹ So Pilate came outside to them, and said, "What charge do you make against this man?" ³⁰ They answered, "If he were not a criminal, we would not have turned him over to you." ³¹ Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves, and try him by your law." The Jews said to him, "We have no authority to put anyone to death." ³² This was to fulfil what Jesus said when he declared how he was to die.
