The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: 32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? 34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? 35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? 36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya: Wala kaming karapatang pumatay ng sinumang tao. Ito ay nangyari upang matupad ang sinabi ni Jesus. Ang salita na kaniyang sinabi ay nagpapahayag ng uri nang kamatayan na kaniyang ikamamatay. Pumasok ngang muli si Pilato sa hukuman at tinawag si Jesus. Sinabi niya sa kaniya: Ikaw ba ang Hari ng mga Judio? Sumagot sa kaniya si Jesus: Ito ba ay sinasabi mo mula sa iyong sarili? O may ibang nagsabi sa iyo patungkol sa akin? Sumagot si Pilato: Ako ba ay isang Judio? Ibinigay ka sa akin ng iyong sariling bansa at ng mga pinunong-saserdote.
