John 18:28

In context

26One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?” 27Again Peter denied it — and at that moment a rooster crowed. 28Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor’s residence. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the residence, so as not to be defiled but to be able to eat the Passover. 29So Pilate came out to them and asked, “What charge do you bring against this man?” 30They answered him, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”
