Pilate and Jesus
33Then
Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are
you the King of the Jews?" 34Jesus answered, "Do you ask
this on your own, or did others tell you about me?" 35Pilate
replied, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have
handed you over to me. What have you done?" 36Jesus answered,
"My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my
followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But
as it is, my kingdom is not from here." 37Pilate asked him,
"So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king.
For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the
truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice." 38Pilate
asked him, "What is truth?"
