Context
29Hivyo Pilato akatoka nje walikokuwa akawauliza, “Mmeleta mashtaka gani kumhusu mtu huyu?” 30Wao wakamjibu, “Kama huyu mtu hakuwa mhalifu tusingemleta kwako.” 31Pilato akawaambia, “Basi mchukueni ninyi mkamhukumu kwa kufuata sheria zenu.”
Wayahudi wakamjibu, “Sisi haturuhusiwi kutoa hukumu ya kifo kwa mtu yeyote.” 32Walisema hivyo ili yale maneno aliyosema Yesu kuhusu kifo atakachokufa yapate kutimia. 33Kwa hiyo Pilato akaingia ndani ya jumba la kifalme, akamwita Yesu, akamuuliza, “Wewe ndiye mfalme wa Wayahudi?”
