30	They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.	“If He were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed Him over to you.”	They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”
31	Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:	“You take Him and judge Him by your own law,” Pilate told them. “We are not permitted to execute anyone,” the Jews replied.	Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is illegal for us to put anyone to death,”
32	That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.	This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to indicate the kind of death He was going to die.	that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what kind of death he should die.

35	Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?	“Am I a Jew?” Pilate replied. “Your own people and chief priests handed You over to me. What have You done?”	Pilate answered, “I’m not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36	Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.	Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”	Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn’t be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here.”
37	Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.	“Then You are a king!” Pilate said. “You say that I am a king,” Jesus answered. “For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice.”	Pilate therefore said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38	Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all .	“What is truth?” Pilate asked. And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and told them, “I find no basis for a charge against Him.	Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
39	But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?	But it is your custom that I release to you one prisoner at the Passover. So then, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”	But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40	Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.	“Not this man,” they shouted, “but Barabbas!” (Now Barabbas was an insurrectionist.)	Then they all shouted again, saying, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
