John 18:28-38 From Caiaphas they led Jesus away to the judgment hall of the Roman governor. Now it was early in the morning and they themselves did not go into the hall that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ From Caiaphas they led Jesus away to the judgment hall of the Roman governor. Now it was early in the morning and they themselves did not go into the hall that they might not be polluted, but that they might eat the passover. ²⁹ Pilate therefore came out to them and said, What accusation do you bring against this man? ³⁰ They in reply, said to him, If he were not a malefactor we would not have delivered him over to thee. ³¹ Then Pilate said to them; Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law. Upon this the Jews said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death, ³² so that the word was fulfilled which Jesus had spoken, signifying by what kind of death he was to die. ³³ Then Pilate went again into the hall, and called Jesus and said to him, Thou art the king of the Jews? ³⁴ Jesus answered him, Dost thou say this from thyself? Or have others told it thee concerning me? ³⁵ Pilate answered him, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation, even the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done? ³⁶ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my attendants would have fought to prevent my being delivered up to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not of this world. ³⁷ Thereupon Pilate said to him, Thou art a king then? Jesus answered, It is as thou sayest, I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to bear testimony for the truth. Every one who is of the truth hearkeneth to my voice. ³⁸ Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find no fault in him.
