NET Bible
"They replied,“If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”"
— John 18:30, NET Bible
“They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.”
“They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. ”
“They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't have delivered him up to you."”
“They answered and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.”
“They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.”
“They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.”
Then Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.
Jesus Brought Before Pilate Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the Roman governor’s residence.(Now it was very early morning.) They did not go into the governor’s residence so they would not be ceremonially defiled, but could eat the Passover meal.
So Pilate came outside to them and said,“What accusation do you bring against this man?”
They replied,“If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”
Pilate told them,“Take him yourselves and pass judgment on him according to your own law!” The Jewish leaders replied,“We cannot legally put anyone to death.”
(This happened to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated what kind of death he was going to die.)
Pilate Questions Jesus So Pilate went back into the governor’s residence, summoned Jesus, and asked him,“Are you the king of the Jews?”
