The Innocent King

Spoken Word by Mikey & V


I sat on the judgment seat—
but I was the one on trial.

They brought Him to me—
bloodied, silent, eyes like oceans too deep for guilt to swim in.

They called Him criminal.
But I saw no crime.
They screamed for death.
But I saw no darkness.


I am Pilate.
A governor.
A judge.
A man drowning in politics and prophecy.

I washed my hands,
but I couldn’t wash my soul.
Because I knew.
I knew.
This man was innocent.
Too innocent.

He didn’t flinch when accused.
Didn’t beg when condemned.
Didn’t argue when silence roared louder than swords.


I asked Him:
"Don’t you know I have power to free you or crucify you?"

He said:
"You’d have no power unless it was given from above."

And in that moment—
I wasn’t the judge.
I was the one being judged.


I thought I ruled Rome.
But I was just a pawn in a scroll
that had been unrolling since Eden.

The Lamb was never mine to save.
The Lamb came to be slain.

And though I wanted to stop it,
He wouldn’t let me.


Because this wasn’t a court hearing.
This was a coronation.
And the cross wasn’t a sentence—
it was a throne.


So I gave Him to them.
And as the crowd chanted for Barabbas,
I watched the true King walk silently
into the mouth of prophecy,
wearing no chains—
just purpose.


Final Word:

The world thought I held power that day.
But I stood in the shadow
of the only innocent man
who ever had the power
to die for the guilty.

He was the Innocent King.
And the blood I feared to touch—
was the blood that saved me too.
