The Gospel

38. ‘Are you the king of the
Jews?’ Pilate asked. Jesus
replied, ‘Do you ask this of
your own accord, or have
others spoken to you about

39. me?’ Pilate answered, ‘Am I a
Jew? It is your own people
and the chief priests who
have handed you over to me:
what have you done?’ Jesus

40. replied, ‘Mine is not a
kingdom of this world; if my
kingdom were of this world,
my men would have fought
to prevent my being

41. surrendered to the Jews. But
my kingdom is not of this
kind.’ ‘So you are a king
then?’ said Pilate. ‘It is you
who say it’ answered Jesus.

42. ‘Yes, I am a king. I was born for
this, I came into the world for
this: to bear witness to the truth;
and all who are on the side of
truth listen to my voice.’
