In this episode of our journey through the Gospel of John, we explore Jesus' powerful and layered encounter with Pontius Pilate in John 18:28–38. As Jesus stands before Rome’s authority, He makes the profound claim that His kingdom is “not of this world.” We reflect on Pilate’s iconic question—“What is truth?”—and consider how John’s Gospel paints Pilate in a surprisingly sympathetic light while placing the true weight of responsibility elsewhere. The discussion dives into the irony, tension, and theological brilliance of John's writing as Jesus remains sovereign even in His trial. From empire politics to spiritual truth, this conversation exposes the depth of a kingdom that defies earthly expectations.
