But my kingdom is not from here.
Pilate therefore said to Him, Are you a king then? Jesus answered, Thou
sayest that I am a king. For this I was born and for this reason I came
into the world: to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the
truth hears my voice. Pilate muttered, What is truth? Then he went out
again to the Jews and said, I find no fault in Him at all. But you have
a custom that I release someone to you at the passover. Is it your
request, therefore, that I release to you the King of the Jews? They
all said, Not this man, but Barabbas. Barabbas was a robber.
19. Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him scourged. The officers
platted a crown of thorns and put it on His head. They put a purple
robe on Him and said, Hail, King of the Jews! They slapped Him with
their hands. Pilate came out again and said, I bring Him to you so you
know that I find no fault in Him. Then Jesus was brought out wearing
the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, Behold
the man!
When the chief priests and officers saw Him they cried out, Crucify
Him. Crucify Him. Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him. I
find no fault in Him. The Jews said, We have a law and, by our law, He
ought to die because He made Himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard
this, he became concerned. He went back into the judgment hall and
asked Jesus, Where are you from? But Jesus gave him no answer.
