GospelJn
18:33b-37
Pilate said to Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus
answered, "Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?" Pilate
answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you
over to me. What have you done?" Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong
to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be
fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom
is not here." So Pilate said to him, "Then you are a king?" Jesus answered,
"You say 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.
