John 18:33-39

33Therefore Pilate 1entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “2You are the King of the Jews?” 34Jesus answered, “Are you saying this 3on your own, or did others tell you about Me?” 35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?” 36Jesus answered, “4My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not 5of this realm.” 37Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “6You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: 7to testify to the truth. 8Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” 38Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?”

And after saying this, he 9came out again to the Jews and said to them, “10I find no grounds at all for charges in 11His case. 3912However, you have a custom that I release one prisoner 13for you at the Passover; therefore do you wish that I release 14for you the King of the Jews?”
