Sermon Text: John 18:33-40
"[33] So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, ‘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, ’My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that 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, ’You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.’ [38] Pilate said to him, ‘What is truth?’ After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them,’ I find no guilt in him. [39] 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, ’Not this man, but Barabbas!’ Now Barabbas was a robber.
