Then Pilate entered the praetorium again, and he called Jesus and said to him, “You are the king of the Jews?” |
| 18:34 |
Jesus responded, “Are you saying this of yourself, or have others spoken to you about me?” |
| 18:35 |
Pilate responded: “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?” |
| 18:36 |
Jesus responded: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would certainly strive so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not now from here.” |
| 18:37 |
And so Pilate said to him, “You are a king, then?” Jesus answered, “You are saying that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world: so that I may offer testimony to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice.” |
