John 18:33-36

33So Pilate went back into the governor’s residence, summoned Jesus, and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”

34Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or have others told you about me?”

35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?”

36Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish authorities. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.”
