Where are you from?

When I do interviews one of the basic questions I ask is, “Are you a local, if not where did you come from and what brought you to western Colorado?” Jesus was brought before Pilate and he found no basis for a charge against him. However, the Jews and the chief priests wanted Jesus crucified on the charge that he claimed to be the Son of God. “When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace. “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer” (John 19:8-9 NIV). I’m trying to imagine the blood draining form Pilate’s face if Jesus would have told him what he told his disciples, “For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me” (John 6:38 NIV).
