Thy Kingdom Come
[John 18:28-40]
John 18:28-29 28
Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the 29 Passover. So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"
John 18:30-32 30
They answered him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him 31 over to you." Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to 32 put anyone to death." This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.
John 18:33-35 33
So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the 34 King of the Jews?" Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say 35 it to you about me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?"
John 18:36 36
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world."
John 18:37-38 37
Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world - to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the 38 truth listens to my voice." Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"
John 18:38-40 38
After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, "I find no 39 guilt in him. But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to 40 you the King of the Jews?" They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
