²² The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?

²³ And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.

³⁵ Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?

³⁶ Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
