John 18:33-39

33

PilateG4091 wentG1525 backG3825 intoG1519 theG3588 PraetoriumG4232, summonedG5455 JesusG2424, andG2532 askedG2036 HimG846, “AreG1510 YouG4771 theG3588 KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453?”

34“Are youG4771 sayingG3004 thisG3778 onG575 your ownG4572,” JesusG2424 askedG611, “orG2228 did othersG243 tellG2036 youG4771 aboutG4012 MeG1473?”

35“AmG1510G3385 IG1473 a JewG2453?” PilateG4091 repliedG611. “YourG4674 own peopleG1484 andG2532 chief priestsG749 handedG3860 YouG4771 over to meG1473. WhatG5101 have You doneG4160?”

36JesusG2424 answeredG611, “MyG1699 kingdomG932 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG3778 worldG2889; ifG1487 it wereG1510, MyG1699 servantsG5257 would fightG75 toG2443 prevent My arrestG3361G3860 by theG3588 JewsG2453. ButG1161 nowG3568 MyG1699 kingdomG932 isG1510 notG3756 of this realmG1782.”

37“ThenG3766 YouG4771 areG1510 a kingG935!” PilateG4091 saidG2036.

“YouG4771 sayG3004 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 a kingG935,” JesusG2424 answeredG611. “ForG1519 this reasonG3778 I was bornG1080 andG2532 have comeG2064 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889, toG2443 testifyG3140 to theG3588 truthG225. EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 belongs toG1510G1537 theG3588 truthG225 listens toG191 MyG1473 voiceG5456.”

38“WhatG5101 isG1510 truthG225?” PilateG4091 askedG3004.

AndG2532 having saidG2036 thisG3778, he went outG1831 againG3825 toG4314 theG3588 JewsG2453 andG2532 toldG3004 themG846, “IG1473 findG2147 noG3762 basis for a chargeG156 againstG1722 HimG846. 39ButG1161 it isG1510 yourG4771 customG4914 thatG2443 I releaseG630 to youG4771 oneG1520 prisoner atG1722 theG3588 PassoverG3957. So thenG3767, do you wantG1014 me to releaseG630 to youG4771 theG3588 KingG935 of theG3588 JewsG2453?”
