John 18:32 Context
30They answered, & said vnto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not haue deliuered him vp vnto thee. 31Then saide Pilate vnto them, Take ye him, and iudge him according to your law. The Iewes therefore said vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death: 32That the saying of Iesus might be fulfilled, which hee spake, signifying what death he should die. 33Then Pilate entred into the Iudgement hall againe, and called Iesus, and saide vnto him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? 34Iesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thy selfe? or did others tell it thee of me?

People's Bible Notes for John 18:32
Joh 18:32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled. Had the Jews been allowed to put Christ to death, he would have been stoned, as Stephen was, by a mob in Jerusalem, stoning being the usual Jewish method of execution, but he had "signified what death he should die" (Joh 12:32 Mt 20:18-19) and had declared that he should be crucified.
