John 18:36-38
1599 Geneva Bible
36 [a]Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would surely fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
37 Pilate then said unto him, Art thou a King then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King: for this cause am I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth: everyone that is of the truth, heareth my voice.
38 [b]Pilate said unto him, [c]What is truth? And when he had said that, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them, I find in him no cause at all.
