John 18:37-39
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
37 Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So-then You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You are saying[a] that[b] I am a king. I have been born for this. And I have come into the world for this: that I might testify to the truth. Everyone being of the truth hears[c] My voice”. 38 Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?”
Pilate Finds No Charge Against Jesus, But Has Him Whipped
And having said this, he again went out to the Jews. And he says to them, “I find no charge[d] in[e] Him. 39 But it is a custom for you that I release one prisoner for you at the Passover [Feast]. So do you wish me to release the King of the Jews for you?”
