John 18 : 28-40
Pilate was surprised at the submissive yet majestic demeanor of Jesus; there was certainly much that was kingly about the Man; never before had such a One stood before him. The charge, however, was a serious one; men who claimed title to kingship might prove dangerous to Rome.... Pilate, plainly, without animosity or prejudice against Jesus, asked: “Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it of me?” The Lord’s counter-question...meant, and was understood to mean, ...Do you ask this in the Roman and literal sense – as to whether I am a king of an earthly kingdom – or with the Jewish and more spiritual meaning?
