John 18:37-39

Expanded Bible

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].”

³⁸ Pilate said, “What is truth?” After he said this, he went out to the ·crowd [^LJews] again and said to them, “I find ·nothing [no case; no basis for a charge] against this man. ³⁹ But it is your custom that I ·free [release] one prisoner to you at Passover time. Do you want me to ·free [release] the ‘king of the Jews’?”
