Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 18:29-30

"Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, If this man were not an evildoer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee." — John 18:29-30 (ASV)

And said, What accusation bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. (John 18:29–30)

This is as much as to say, "You may take that for granted. We would not have brought him if he had not done wrong. You do not need to examine the matter; we have already heard the evidence and convicted him, and so saved you all the trouble of trying him; we only bring him here for you to condemn him."
