Young's Literal Translation

37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, 'Art thou then a king?' Yashua (Jesus) answered, 'Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
