³³ Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, called Jesus, and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

⁹ He entered into the Praetorium again, and said to Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.

¹⁵ "Don't be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."

²⁸ They led Jesus therefore from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. It was early, and they themselves didn't enter into the Praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.

²⁹ Pilate therefore went out to them, and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?"

³⁷ Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

³ They kept saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" and they kept slapping him.

¹² At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you release this man, you aren't Caesar's friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!"

¹⁹ Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. There was written, "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."

²⁰ Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.

²¹ The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, "Don't write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'he said, I am King of the Jews.'"

²² Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."

³⁴ For David didn't ascend into the heavens, but he says himself, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit by my right hand,

³⁵ Until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."'

³⁶ "Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."

¹³ I charge you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

¹³ they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!"

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are King of Israel!"

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁷ Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Hosts will perform this.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

¹⁵ Yahweh has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, Yahweh, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.

⁹ Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation; Lowly, and riding on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

¹¹ Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "So you say."

² Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered, "So you say."

³⁸ saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!"

³⁹ Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!"

⁴⁰ He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."

³ Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" He answered him, "So you say."

⁴ Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."

⁶ "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

⁷ I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

⁹ You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

¹⁰ Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
