John 18:35-37

Expanded Bible

³⁵ Pilate answered, “·I am not one of you [^LAm I a Jew?]. It was your own ·people [nation] and their ·leading [^Tchief] priests who ·handed you over [or betrayed you] to me. What have you done wrong?”

³⁶ Jesus answered, “My kingdom ·does not belong to [^Tis not of] this world. If it belonged to this world, my servants would have fought to keep me from being ·given over [betrayed; handed over] to the ·Jewish leaders [^LJews]. But my kingdom is from another place.”

³⁷ Pilate said, “So you are a king!”

Jesus answered, “You are the one saying I am a king. This is why I was born and came into the world: to ·tell people [testify/witness to] the truth. And everyone ·who belongs to the [on the side of] truth ·listens to me [^Lhears my voice].”
