John:18:28-40
noyes@John:18:28 @ Then they lead Jesus from Caiaphas to the governors palace; and it was early. And they did not themselves go into the palace, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.
noyes@John:18:29 @ Pilate therefore went out to them, and saith, What accusation do ye bring against this man?
noyes@John:18:30 @ They answered and said to him, If he had not been doing evil, we would not have delivered him up to thee.
noyes@John:18:31 @ Pilate therefore said to them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him, It is not lawful for us to put any one to death.
noyes@John:18:32 @ That the words of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spoke, signifying what kind of death he was to die.
noyes@John:18:33 @ Pilate therefore went into the palace again, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
noyes@John:18:34 @ Jesus answered, Dost thou say this of thyself, or did others tell thee concerning me?
noyes@John:18:35 @ Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thy own nation and the chief priests delivered thee up to me. What hast thou done?
noyes@John:18:36 @ Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I should not be delivered up to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.
noyes@John:18:37 @ Pilate therefore said to him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest what is true; for I am a king. For this end have I been born, and for this cause have I come into the world, that I may bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth listeneth to my voice.
noyes@John:18:38 @ Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And having said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them, I find nothing criminal in him.
noyes@John:18:39 @ But ye have a custom that I should release to you one at the passover: do ye desire, therefore, that I release to you the king of the Jews?
noyes@John:18:40 @ Then they cried out again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
