John 18:30
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
In context
28 Then they led Jesus away from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. By now it was early morning, and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium, to avoid being defiled and unable to eat the Passover.
29 So Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
30 “If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”
31 “You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.
