Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate\u2019s headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilate went out to them and said, \u2018What accusation do you bring against this man?\u2019 They answered, \u2018If this man were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.\u2019 Pilate said to them, \u2018Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.\u2019 The Jews replied, \u2018We are not permitted to put anyone to death.\u2019 (This was to fulfil what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)<\/p>\n
Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, \u2018Are you the King of the Jews?\u2019 Jesus answered, \u2018Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?\u2019 Pilate replied, \u2018I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?\u2019 Jesus answered, \u2018My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.\u2019 Pilate asked him, \u2018So you are a king?\u2019 Jesus answered, \u2018You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.\u2019 Pilate asked him, \u2018What is truth?\u2019<\/p>\n
After he had said this, he went out to the Jews again and told them, \u2018I find no case against him. But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?\u2019 They shouted in reply, \u2018Not this man, but Barabbas!\u2019 Now Barabbas was a bandit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
