John 18:29

Jesus Brought Before Pilate

²⁸ Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium (governor’s palace). Now it was early and the Jews did not enter the Praetorium so that they would not be [ceremonially] unclean, but might [be able to] eat [and participate in the Feast of Unleavened Bread which began after] the Passover [supper]. ²⁹ So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?” ³⁰ They answered, “If He were not a criminal, we would not have handed Him over to you [for judgment].”
