Gospel
text (John 18,33-37):
Pilate asked Jesus, «Are you the King of the Jews?». Jesus replied, «Does this
word come from you, or did you hear it from others?». Pilate answered, «Am I a
Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What
have you done?». Jesus answered, «My kingship does not come from this world. If
I were king like those of this world, my guards would have fought to save me
from being handed over to the Jews. But my kingship is not from here». Pilate
asked him, «So you are a king?». And Jesus answered, «Just as you say, I am a
king. For this I was born and for this I have come into the world, to bear
witness to the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth hears my voice».
Pilate said, «What is truth?».
Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»
