John 18:29-38

291ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 cameG1831 outG1831 to them and saidG5346, “WhatG5101 accusationG2724 are you bringingG5342 against thisG3778 ManG444?” 30They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “IfG1487 thisG3778 ManG3778 were not 2a criminalG2556, we would not have handedG3860 Him overG3860 to you.” 31SoG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to them, “TakeG2983 Him yourselvesG4771, and judgeG2919 Him accordingG2596 to your lawG3551.” The JewsG2453 saidG3004 to him, “We are not 3permittedG1832 to putG615 anyoneG3762 toG615 deathG615.” 32This happened soG2443 thatG2443 4the wordG3056 of JesusG2424 whichG3739 He saidG3004, indicatingG4591 whatG4169 kindG4169 of deathG2288 He wasG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 dieG599, would be fulfilledG4137.

33ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 5enteredG1525 the PraetoriumG4232 againG3825, and summonedG5455 JesusG2424 and saidG3004 to Him, “6You are the KingG935 of the JewsG2453?” 34JesusG2424 answeredG611, “Are you sayingG3004 thisG3778 7on your ownG1438, orG2228 did othersG243 tellG3004 you aboutG4012 Me?” 35PilateG4091 answeredG611, “I amG1510 not a JewG2453, am I? Your own nationG1484 and the chiefG749 priestsG749 handedG3860 You overG3860 to me; whatG5101 have You doneG4160?” 36JesusG2424 answeredG611, “8My kingdomG932 is not of thisG3778 worldG2889. IfG1487 My kingdomG932 were of thisG3778 worldG2889, My servantsG5257 would be fightingG75 soG2443 thatG2443 I would not be handedG3860 overG3860 to the JewsG2453; but asG3568 itG3568 isG3568, My kingdomG932 is not 9ofG1782 thisG1782 realmG1782.” 37ThereforeG3767 PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “SoG3766 You are a kingG935?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “10You sayG3004 correctly that I amG1510 a kingG935. For thisG3778 purpose I have been bornG1080, and for thisG3778 I have comeG2064 into the worldG2889: 11to testifyG3140 to the truthG225. 12EveryoneG3956 who is of the truthG225 listensG191 to My voiceG5456.” 38PilateG4091 saidG3004 to Him, “WhatG5101 is truthG225?”

And after sayingG3004 thisG3778, he 13cameG1831 outG1831 againG3825 to the JewsG2453 and saidG3004 to them, “14I findG2147 noG3762 groundsG156 atG3762 allG3762 for chargesG156 in 15His case.
