John 18:28–38

^28qThen led they Jesus from ^rCaiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, ^slest they should be defiled; but ^tthat they might eat the passover. ^29uPilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring you against this man? ³⁰They answered and said unto him, If he were not a ^xmalefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. ³¹Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and ^yjudge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: ³²that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, ^zsignifying what death he should die. ³³Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, ^aArt thou the King of the Jews? ³⁴Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? ³⁵Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? ³⁶Jesus answered, ^bMy kingdom is not ^cof this world: if my kingdom were ^cof this world, then would ^dmy servants ^efight, that I should not ^fbe delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. ³⁷Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, ^gThou sayest that I am a king. ^hTo this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should ⁱbear witness unto ^kthe truth. ^lEvery one that is of the truth heareth my voice. ³⁸Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he ^mwent out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, ⁿI find in him no fault at all.
