Christ the King

John 18:33-37

Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him,
"Are you the King of the Jews?"  Jesus answered, "Do you ask this on your
own, or did others tell you about me?"  Pilate replied, "I am not a Jew,
am I?  Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me.
What have you done?"  Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this world.
If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep
me from being handed over to the Jews.   But as it is, my kingdom is not
from here."  Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You
say that I am a king.  For this I was born, and for this I came into the
world, to testify to the truth.   Everyone who belongs to the truth
listens to my voice."
