* Then led they (5719 ) Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment : and it was (5713 ) early ; and they themselves went (5627 ) not into the judgment hall , lest they should be defiled (5686 ); but that they might eat (5632 ) the passover . * Pilate then went out (5627 ) unto them , and said (5627 ), What accusation bring ye (5719 ) against this man ? * They answered (5662 ) and said (5627 ) unto him , If he were (5713 ) not a malefactor , we would not have delivered him up (5656 ) unto thee . * Then said (5627 ) Pilate unto them , Take (5628 ) ye him , and judge (5657 ) him according to your law . The Jews therefore said (5627 ) unto him , It is not lawful (5748 ) for us to put any man to death (5658 ): * That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled (5686 ), which he spake (5627 ), signifying (5723 ) what death he should (5707 ) die (5721 ). * Then Pilate entered (5627 ) into the judgment hall again , and called (5656 ) Jesus , and said (5627 ) unto him , Art (5748 ) thou the King of the Jews ? * Jesus answered (5662 ) him , Sayest (5719 ) thou this thing of thyself , or did others tell it (5627 ) thee of me ? * Pilate answered (5662 ), Am (5748 ) I a Jew ? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered (5656 ) thee unto me : what hast thou done (5656 )? * Jesus answered (5662 ), My kingdom is (5748 ) not of this world : if my kingdom were (5713 ) of this world , then would my servants fight (5711 ), that I should not be delivered (5686 ) to the Jews : but now is (5748 ) my kingdom not from hence . * Pilate therefore said (5627 ) unto him , Art (5748 ) thou a king then ? Jesus answered (5662 ), Thou sayest (5719 ) that I am (5748 ) a king . To this end was I born (5769 ), and for this cause came I (5754 ) into the world , that I should bear witness (5661 ) unto the truth . Every one that is (5752 ) of the truth heareth (5719 ) my voice . * Pilate saith (5719 ) unto him , What is (5748 ) truth ? And when he had said (5631 ) this , he went out (5627 ) again unto the Jews , and saith (5719 ) unto them , I find (5719 ) in him no fault at all .
