34 Jesus responded, "Are you saying this of yourself, or have others spoken to you about me?"
35 Pilate responded: "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the high priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Jesus responded: "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would certainly strive so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not now from here."
37 And so Pilate said to him, "You are a king, then?" Jesus answered, "You are saying that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world: so that I may offer testimony to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."
38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and he said to them, "I find no case against him.
39 But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?"
40 Then they all cried out repeatedly, saying: "Not this one, but Barabbas." Now Barabbas was a robber.
