Entering the praetorium again, Pilate called Jesus aside and said to him: 'Are you the king of the Jews?'
2Jesus answered: 'My kingdom is not of this world, for otherwise my servants would have fought.'
3Pilate said: 'So you are a king?' Jesus answered: 'You say that I am a king; for this I was born and came into the world, that everyone who is of the truth should hear my voice.'
4Pilate said to him: 'What is truth?' Jesus answered: 'Truth comes from heaven.'
5And leaving Jesus, Pilate went to the Jews and said to them: 'I find no fault in him.'
6The Jews replied: 'He said: I am able to destroy this temple and rebuild it in three days.'
7Pilate said: 'I am innocent of the blood of this just man; you will see to it.' And the Jews said: 'His blood be upon us and upon our children.'
