Pilate asked, "Art thou the King of the Jews?"
Jesus opened his mouth and said, "Sayest thou this thing of thyself,
or did others tell it thee of me?"
Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests
have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?"
Jesus opened his mouth and answered, "My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that
I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."
Pilate therefore said unto him, "Art thou a king then?"
Jesus opened his mouth and answered, "Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world,
that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the
truth heareth my voice."
