聖若望福音 18:33-37
那時候，比拉多對耶穌說：「你是猶太人的君王嗎？」
耶穌回答說：「這話是你自己說的，或是別人論及我，而對你說的？」
比拉多答說：「莫非我是猶太人？你的民族和司祭長，把你交給我，你做了什麼？」
耶穌回答說：「我的國不屬於這世界；如果我的國屬於這世界，我的臣民早已反抗了，使我不至於被交給猶太人；但是，我的國不是這世界的。」
於是，比拉多對耶穌說：「那麼，你就是君王了？」
耶穌回答說：「你說的是，我是君王。我為此而生，我也為此而來到世界上，為給真理作證；凡屬於真理的，必聽從我的聲音。」
Gospel according to John (18:33b-37)
Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?” Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not here.” So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say 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.”
