018:029 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation
do you bring against this man?"
018:030 They answered him, "If this man weren't an evildoer, we wouldn't
have delivered him up to you."
018:031 Pilate therefore said to them, "Take him yourselves, and judge
him according to your law." Therefore the Jews said to him,
"It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,"
018:032 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke,
signifying by what kind of death he should die.
018:033 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus,
and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
018:034 Jesus answered him, "Do you say this by yourself, or did others
tell you about me?"
018:035 Pilate answered, "I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and
the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?"
018:036 Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world.
If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants
would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews.
But now my Kingdom is not from here."
018:037 Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?"
Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this
reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come
into the world, that I should testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
018:038 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" When he had said this,
he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, "I find
no basis for a charge against him.
018:039 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?"
018:040 Then they all shouted again, saying, "Not this man,
but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
019:001 So Pilate then took Jesus, and flogged him.
019:002 The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head,
and dressed him in a purple garment.
019:003 They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they
kept slapping him.
019:004 Then Pilate went out again, and said to them, "Behold, I bring
him out to you, that you may know that I find no basis
for a charge against him."
019:005 Jesus therefore came out, wearing the crown of thorns and
the purple garment. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!"
019:006 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw him,
they shouted, saying, "Crucify! Crucify!" Pilate said to them,
"Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis
for a charge against him."
019:007 The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and by our law he ought
to die, because he made himself the Son of God."
019:008 When therefore Pilate heard this saying, he was more afraid.
