John 18:31-33
Contemporary English Version
31 Pilate told them, “Take him and judge him by your own laws.”
The crowd replied, “We are not allowed to put anyone to death.” 32 (A) And so what Jesus said about his death[a] would soon come true.
33 Pilate then went back inside. He called Jesus over and asked, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

- 18.32 about his death: Jesus had said that he would die by being “lifted up,” which meant that he would die on a cross. The Romans killed criminals by nailing them on a cross, but they did not let the Jews kill anyone in this way.
