John 18:37-39

New Century Version

³⁷ Pilate said, “So you are a king!”

Jesus answered, “You are the one saying I am a king. This is why I was born and came into the world: to tell people the truth. And everyone who belongs to the truth listens to me.”

³⁸ Pilate said, “What is truth?” After he said this, he went out to the crowd again and said to them, “I find nothing against this man. ³⁹ But it is your custom that I free one prisoner to you at Passover time. Do you want me to free the ‘king of the Jews’?”
