John 18:37-40
English Standard Version
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, (A)“You say that I am a king. (B)For this purpose I was born and for this purpose (C)I have come into the world—(D)to bear witness to the truth. (E)Everyone who is (F)of the truth (G)listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
After he had said this, (H)he went back outside to the Jews and told them, (I)“I find no guilt in him. 39 (J)But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” 40 They cried out again, (K)“Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.[a]
