Thine own nation and the chief Priests have delivered thee unto me. What hast thou done ? 36. Jesus answered, My king, dom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now is my kingdom not from hence. 37.

When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked, whether the man were a Galilean ? 7. And, as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod : who himself was at Jerusalem at that time. 8. | And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad. For he was desirous to see him of a long season: because he had heard many things of him : and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. 9. Then he questioned with him in many words.
