185:3.1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] took [[Jesus]] and [[John Zebedee]] into a [[private]] chamber, leaving the guards outside in the hall, and requesting the [[prisoner]] to sit down, he sat down by his side and asked several [[questions]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] began his talk with [[Jesus]] by [[assuring]] him that he did not [[believe]] the first count against him: that he was a [[perverter]] of the [[nation]] and an inciter to [[rebellion]]. Then he asked, " Did you ever [[teach]] that [[tribute]] should be refused [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar Caesar]? " [[Jesus]], pointing to [[John, the Apostle|John]], said, " Ask him or any other man who has heard my teaching. " Then [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pialate Pilate] [[questioned]] [[John, the Apostle|John]] about this matter of [[tribute]], and [[John, the Apostle|John]] [[testified]] concerning his Master's teaching and [[explained]] that [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]] paid [[taxes]] both to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar Caesar] and to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_temple the temple]. When [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] had [[questioned]] [[John, the Apostle|John]], he said, " See that you tell no man that I [[talked]] with you. " And [[John, the Apostle|John]] never did [[reveal]] this matter.

185:3.2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] then turned around to [[question]] [[Jesus]] further, saying: " And now about the third [[accusation]] against you, are you the [[king]] of the [[Jews]]? " Since there was a [[tone]] of possibly [[sincere]] [[inquiry]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate]'s [[voice]], [[Jesus]] smiled on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_procurator procurator] and said: " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate], do you ask this for yourself, or do you take this [[question]] from these others, my [[accusers]]?

185:3.3 Then said [[Jesus]] to Pilate: " Do you not [[perceive]] that [[the Kingdom|my kingdom]] is not of this world? If [[the Kingdom|my kingdom]] were of this world, surely would my [[disciples]] fight that I should not be delivered into the hands of the [[Jews]].

185:3.4 " Then you are a [[king]] after all? " said [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate]. And [[Jesus]] answered: " Yes, I am such a [[king]], and [[the Kingdom|my kingdom]] is the [[family]] of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:6._THE_FAITH_SONS_OF_GOD sons of God faith sons] of [[the Father|my Father]] who is in [[heaven]].

185:3.6 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was not able to [[fathom]] [[Jesus]]' [[words]], nor was he able to [[understand]] the [[nature]] of [[the Kingdom|his spiritual kingdom]], but he was now certain that the [[prisoner]] had done nothing [[worthy]] of [[death]]. One look at [[Jesus]], [[face]] to face, was enough to [[convince]] even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] that this [[gentle]] and [[weary]], but [[majestic]] and [[upright]], man was no wild and [[dangerous]] [[revolutionary]] who [[aspired]] to [[establish]] himself on the [[temporal]] [[throne]] of [[Israel]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] [[thought]] he [[understood]] something of what [[Jesus]] meant when he called himself a [[king]], for he was familiar with the teachings of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism Stoics], who [[declared]] that " the [[wise]] man is [[king]]. " [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was thoroughly convinced that, instead of being a [[dangerous]] [[Rebellion|sedition]] monger, [[Jesus]] was nothing more or less than a harmless [[visionary]], an innocent [[fanatic]].

185:3.7 After [[questioning]] [[the Master]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] went back to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen_Gadol chief priests] and the [[accusers]] of [[Jesus]] and said: " I have [[examined]] this man, and I find no fault in him. I do not [[think]] he is [[guilty]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charge charges] you have made against him; I [[think]] he ought to be set [[free]].

He is a [[mischief]]-maker and an evildoer. You will long [[regret]] it if you let this [[wicked]] man go [[free]]. "

185:3.8 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilate Pilate] was hard pressed to know what to do with [[Jesus]]; therefore, when he heard them say that he began his [[work]] in [[Galilee]], he [[thought]] to avoid the [[responsibility]] of [[deciding]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_case case], at least to gain time for [[thought]], by sending [[Jesus]] to appear before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod], who was then in the [[city]] attending the [[Passover]].
