John 18:33-36

33So Pilate went into the Praetorium again, and called Jesus and asked Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

34Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”

35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and their chief priests have handed You over to me. What have You done [that is worthy of death]?”

36Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not of this world [nor does it have its origin in this world]. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting [hard] to keep Me from being handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this world.”
