John 18:33-37

33 Pilate went back into the Praetorium and summoned Jesus. He asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”

34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own, or did others tell you about me?”

35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own people and chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”

36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here.”

37 “You are a king then?” Pilate asked.

Jesus answered, “I am, as you say, a king. For this reason I was born, and for this reason I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
