John 18:35-37

Living Bible

³⁵ “Am I a Jew?” Pilate retorted. “Your own people and their chief priests brought you here. Why? What have you done?”

³⁶ Then Jesus answered, “I am not an earthly king. If I were, my followers would have fought when I was arrested by the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of the world.”

³⁷ Pilate replied, “But you are a king then?”

“Yes,” Jesus said. “I was born for that purpose. And I came to bring truth to the world. All who love the truth are my followers.”
