lont@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the praetorium: it was now morning; but the Jews entered not the praetorium, lest they should be defiled, and so not in a condition to eat the passover.
lont@John:18:29 @ Pilate, therefore, went out to them, and said, Of what do you accuse this man?
lont@John:18:30 @ They answered, If he were not a criminal, we would not have delivered him to you.
lont@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Then take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews replied, We are not permitted to put any man to death.
lont@John:18:32 @ And thus, what Jesus had spoken, signifying what death he should die, was accomplished.
lont@John:18:33 @ Then Pilate returned to the praetorium, and having called Jesus, said to him, Are you the King of the Jews?
lont@John:18:35 @ Pilate replied, Am I am Jew? Your own nation, yes, the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done?
lont@John:18:38 @ Pilate asked him, What is truth? and so saying, went out again to the Jews, and said to them, For my part, I find nothing culpable in this man.
lont@John:18:39 @ But since it is customary that I release to you one at the passover, will you that I release to you the King of the Jews?
lont@John:18:40 @ Then they all cried, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
