Neville Goddard on John 19:14-15 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read John 19 in context

Scripture Focus

14And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

15But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

John 19:14-15

Biblical Context

The verse presents an external proclamation of a king and the crowd’s rejection, signaling an inner clash between true kingship and worldly power. It invites you to recognize the king within and release dependency on Caesar-like authorities.

Neville's Inner Vision

John 19:14-15 offers a scene where the herald of a king speaks to the crowd, yet their hearts prefer Caesar over the crown of inner truth. The 'King' is not a man in a Roman robe but the I AM—the conscious ruler you already are. The sixth hour marks a decisive shift: the moment you awaken to sovereign awareness, a new inner government begins. The crowd's cry 'Away with him' reveals the habitual thoughts that resist a higher order; the declaration 'We have no king but Caesar' exposes the mistaken worship of outer power—fame, status, material rule. If you take this inwardly, you realize that every time you cling to a carnal measure, you are crucifying your inner kingship. The Kingdom of God is not a distant realm but a present state of consciousness in which the I AM reigns supreme. Judgment arises when you evaluate your beliefs by their alignment with inner authority; you become accountable to the king within and choose again to enthrone love, clarity, and creative awareness rather than external rule.

Practice This Now

Imaginative practice: Assume you are the King now. Close your eyes and feel the I AM saturating every thought; declare 'Behold your King' and revise any memory of Caesar's rule by affirming inner sovereignty.
