"Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world—to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>"What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/18-40.htm"><b>40</b></a></span>With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!"
