36 Jesus responded, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight for me, in order that I might not be delivered to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from thence. 37 Then Pilate said to Him, Then, art thou not a king? Jesus responded, Thou says that I am king. Unto this I was born, and unto this I have come into the world, in order that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. 38 Pilate says to Him, What is truth? And saying this, again he went out to the Jews, and speaks to them, I find no crime in Him. 39 There is a custom to you, that I release unto you one during the passover. Then do you wish that I may release unto you the King of the Jews? 40 Then they all again cried out, saying, Not Him, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a robber. John 18:36-40, Godbey New Testament.
