    28¶ Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

    29Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

    30They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

    31Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

    32That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

    33Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

    34Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

    38Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
