John 18:33-40 - Pilate Questions Jesus
33 Pilate, therefore, entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said to Him, "Art Thou the King of the Jews?"
34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this of yourself, or did others tell you concerning Me?"
35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the high priests delivered Thee up to me: what didst Thou do?"
36 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from hence."
37 Pilate, therefore, said to Him, "Art Thou, then, a King?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a King. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears My voice."
38 Pilate says to Him, "What is truth?" And, having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them, "I find no crime in Him. 39 But ye have a custom, that I should release to you one at the passover. Do ye wish, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 They cried out, therefore, again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
