What is the Truth?
Chapters 18:37-40 and 19:1-11 in the Book of John describe Jesus being taken to the Praetorioum to be questioned by Pontius Pilate. It is here in Chapter 18:38 that Pilate asks Jesus, "What is truth?"
Watch the YouTube video that portrays this portion of Scripture. It comes from the movie Jesus of Nazareth which was made for TV in the late 1970's.
The Bible does not record Jesus answering Pilate's question. I don't think Pilate would have understood the answer. The Bible though does record the answer (John 14:6). The night before the crucification...at the Last Supper, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples - "I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father except through me."
What is the truth? Jesus is!
