John 18:28-30

Mace(i) 28 Then they led Jesus early in the morning from Caiaphas, to the Pretorium: but the Jews themselves did not enter into the Pretorium, lest they should be defiled: and so not be in a condition to eat the passover. 29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, what crime do you object to this man? 30 they answered him, if he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him to you.
