The Gospel
for the
Reign of Christ
| 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 does not belong to this world. If my
kingdom belonged to 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." ~ John 18: 33-37 |
