Therefore Pilate ^(C1)entered the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "^(C2)You are the King of the Jews?"

Jesus answered, "Are you saying this ^(F1)on your own, or did others tell you about Me?"

Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed You over to me; what have You done?"

Jesus answered, "^(C1)My 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 ^(F1)of this realm."

Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "^(C1)You say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have come into the world: ^(C2)to testify to the truth. ^(C3)Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice."

Pilate ^(*)said to Him, "What is truth?" And after saying this, he ^(C1)came out again to the Jews and ^(*)said to them, "^(C2)I find no grounds at all for charges in ^(F1)His case.
