John's gospel makes much more of the title 'King of the Jews' than the other gospels. Once Jesus describes real authority as coming from above and identifies himself as the Son of God, Pilate becomes much more circumspect. Perhaps Pilate is beginning to grasp the real significance of who Jesus is. The chief priests declare that their 'only King is Caesar' - and we think about our need to declare Jesus as King in our own lives and ways in which we might resist that.
