28 Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas into the Governor's palace; and it was early; and they themselves went not into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation do ye bring against this man?
30 They answered and said to him: If this man were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
31 Pilate therefore said to them: Do ye take him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;
32 that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying by what manner of death he should die.
33 Pilate therefore entered into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the King of the Jews?
34 Jesus answered: Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me?
35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, and the chief priests, delivered thee up to me. What didst thou?
36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest it; because I am a king. To this end have I been born, and to this end have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice.
38 Pilate says to him: What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and says to them: I find no fault in him.
