My Kingdom Is Not of This World

33 (A)So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, (B)“Are you the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?” 36 Jesus answered, (C)“My kingdom (D)is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, (E)my servants would have been fighting, that (F)I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” 37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, (G)“You say that I am a king. (H)For this purpose I was born and for this purpose (I)I have come into the world—(J)to bear witness to the truth. (K)Everyone who is (L)of the truth (M)listens to my voice.”

33 (A)Then Pilate entered the [a]Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”

34 Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?”

35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”

36 (B)Jesus answered, (C)“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

37 Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”

Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, (D)that I should bear (E)witness to the truth. Everyone who (F)is of the truth (G)hears My voice.”

29 “Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about (A)the patriarch David (B)that he both died and (C)was buried, and (D)his tomb is with us to this day. 30 (E)Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that (F)God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that (G)he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus (H)God raised up, (I)and of that we all are witnesses. 33 (J)Being therefore (K)exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from (L)the Father (M)the promise of the Holy Spirit, (N)he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.

29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you (A)of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, (B)and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [a]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, (C)that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 (D)This Jesus God has raised up, (E)of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore (F)being exalted [b]to (G)the right hand of God, and (H)having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He (I)poured out this which you now see and hear.
