John 18:33-40 - Pilate Questions Jesus
33 Then Pilate came again into the judgment hall, and asked Jesus, and said to Him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus responded, Do you speak this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning me?
35 Pilate responded, Whether am I a Jew? thine own nation and the chief priests delivered thee to me: what hast thou done?
36 Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence.
37 Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him. 39 There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews?
40 Then they all again cried out, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a robber.
