• Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me? (when he asked me. “Are you the king of the Jews?”)
• 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.
• 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.
• You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above. Therefore, he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin. (when he stated, “Do you not know that I have authority to release you and authority to crucify you?”)
