JESUS.
My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world my followers would have fought to prevent my being my
delivered into the hands of the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.
PILATE.
Are you a king then? Are you the King of the Jews?
JESUS.
It is you who have said I am a king. Yes, I am a king. To this end I was born and for this cause I came into the world that I should
bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth hear my voice.
PILATE.
What is truth?
NARRATOR.
And with that he went out again to chief priests and the crowds and said:
PILATE.
I find no case against him.
NARRATOR.
But they fiercely persisted:
JEWS.
He is inflaming the people with his teaching all over Judaea; it has come all the way from Galilee, where he started, down to here.
NARRATOR.
When Pilate heard this, he asked if the man were a Galilean and finding that he came under Herod's jurisdiction , he passed him over
to Herod who was in Jerusalem at that time. Pilate then had Jesus taken away.
Matthew 27:11; Luke 23:2-7; John 18:28-38

NARRATOR.
Now Herod was delighted to see Jesus as he had been waiting a long time to meet him. He had heard many things about him and
hoped to see some miracle performed by Jesus. Herod questioned him at some length, but Jesus remained silent and didn't answer
him. Meanwhile, the chief priests and the scribes stood there, hurling accusations at Jesus. Then Herod, together with his guards,
treated him with contempt and made fun of him. They put a rich cloak on him and sent him back to Pilate. Although Herod and Pilate
had previously been enemies, they were reconciled that same day and became friends.
Luke 23:8-12

NARRATOR.
Pilate then called the chief priests and the leading men of the people and said to them:
PILATE.
You have brought this man to me as a political agitator, look, I have gone into the matter myself in your presence and have found no
case against this man in respect to all the allegations you have brought against him. Neither has Herod, since he sent him back to us.
But according to a custom of yours, I am under obligation to release one prisoner at the Passover. Would you like me then to release
the King of the Jews. As you can see, the man has not done anything that deserves death. I will then, discipline him and release him.
NARRATOR.
And the cried out all to once.
