18:39 - But {δὲ <de>} you {ὑμῖν <sy>} have {ἔστιν <eimi>} a → custom {συνήθεια <synētheia>} that {ἵνα <hina>} I → should → release {ἀπολύσω < apolyō>} one {ἕνα <heis>} man ← for → you {ὑμῖν <sy>} at {ἐν <en>} the {τῷ <ho>} Passover. {πάσχα· <pascha>} So {οὖν <oun>} do → you → want {βούλεσθε <boulomai>} me → to → release {ἀπολύσω <apolyō>} to → you {ὑμῖν < sy>} the {τὸν <ho>} King {βασιλέα <basileus>} of → the {τῶν <ho>} Jews?” {Ἰουδαίων; <Ioudaios>}

18:40 - They → cried {ἐκραύγασαν <kraugazō>} out ← • {οὖν <oun>} again, {πάλιν <palin>} “ {λέγοντες· <legō>} Not {μὴ <mē>} this {τοῦτον <houtos>} man, ← but {ἀλλὰ <alla>} Barabbas!” {τὸν Βαραββᾶν· <ho Barabbas>} Now {δὲ <de>} Barabbas {ὁ Βαραββᾶς <ho Barabbas>} was {ἦν <eimi>} a → robber. {ληστής. <lēstēs>}

John 18:33–40 -

When Jesus declared, “My kingdom is not of this world” (v. 36), he wasn’t implying that his kingdom has no implications for the earth and the world we now live in. Nothing could be further from the truth. Rather he was saying, “My kingdom is on another plane than the kingdoms erected in the fallen ways of humanity.” For in fact, Jesus’ kingdom is simultaneously over this world and very much in this world. He has come to make all things new.
