John 18:34-40

34 Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"

35 Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"

36 Jesus answered, "¹My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."

37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "²You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, ³to testify to the truth. ⁴Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

38 Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he ⁵ went out again to the Jews and said to them, "⁶ I find no guilt in Him.

39 "⁷But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"

40 So they cried out again, saying, "⁸Not this Man, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
