Your own people and the high priests have delivered you to me; what have you done? <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/john/18-36.htm#aramaic"><b>36</b></a></span>Jesus said to him, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not from here. <span class="reftext"><a href="/parallel/john/18-37.htm#aramaic"><b>37</b></a></span>Pilate said to him, Then are you a king?
