John 18:30-32

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰ They answered him, “If this man were not an evildoer, we would not have handed him over.” ³¹ Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.”^{[a] 32} This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken to show by what death he was to die.
