John 18:27-32

²⁷Peter denied it again, and immediately a cock crowed.

²⁸Early in the morning they took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. The Jewish leaders didn't enter the palace because if they did they would be ceremonially defiled, and they wanted to be able to eat the Passover meal.

²⁹So Pilate came out to meet them. “What charge are you bringing against this man?” he asked.

³⁰“If he wasn't a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you,” they answered.

³¹“Then you take him and judge him according to your law,” Pilate told them. “We're not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews answered.

³²This fulfilled what Jesus had said about how he would die.
