John 18:33-35
33 Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?”
Did Pilate know the King stood before him? He knew the Jews brought Jesus to be judged, so He asked Pilate if that was his belief also. Pilate said it was the charge brought to him and so asked what Jesus did to have them bring Him up on charges. So we must answer the question - do we know Jesus is the King of kings, or is it just what others tell us that we echo? Our answer is eternally significant.
