John 18:37-38
37 Pilate therefore said unto Him, Are You a King then? (This question is not exactly asked in sarcasm or sincerity; quite probably, there is a little of both!) Jesus answered, You say that I am a King (is the same as saying “yes, it is so!”). To this end was I born (addresses the Incarnation, God becoming Man [Isa. 7:14]), and for this cause came I into the world (He is to be King in the hearts of all who believe Him), that I should bear witness unto the Truth (carries in its statement the entirety of the embodiment of the Ways of God). Every one who is of the Truth hears My Voice (only those who sincerely desire Truth will know Christ, i.e., “hear His Voice”).
BARABBAS
38 Pilate said unto Him, What is Truth? (Pilate shows himself by his question to be a cynic.) And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and said unto them (is done so in the midst of tumult), I find in Him no fault at all (Pilate knew that Jesus was not guilty of treason against Rome, or any other type of infraction).
39 But you have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the Passover (seems to have taken place immediately upon Jesus being returned to him from Herod): will you therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? (This is said with some sarcasm, but yet as an appeal to the absurdity of these charges.)
40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas (Pilate thought maybe he could get off the hook, thinking surely they would not prefer a robber over Jesus! he was to be sadly disappointed!). Now Barabbas was a robber (they chose a robber, and they have been mercilessly robbed ever since).
