John 18:33-40 (ESV)
Two Kingdoms
33: So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34: Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?”
35: Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?”
36: Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”
One Truth
37: Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”
38: Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.
39: But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40: They cried out again, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
