Three 16th-Century Truth Seekers—What Did They Find? “WHAT is truth?” That was the question that Pontius Pilate,?
Roman governor of Judea in the first century, asked of Jesus, who was on trial before the governor. (John 18:38) Pilate, of course, was not really seeking the truth. If anything, his question revealed his skeptical or cynical attitude. Apparently, to Pilate truth was whatever a person might choose or was taught to believe; there was really no way to determine what is truth. Many today feel the same way.
Churchgoers in 16th-century Europe faced the dilemma of what to believe as truth. Raised to believe in the supremacy of the pope and in other teachings of the church, they were confronted with new ideas spread by the Reformation, which was sweeping through Europe at the time. What should they believe? How would they decide what is truth?
During that period, there were, among many others, three men who were determined to seek out the truth.* How did they go about identifying what was true and what was false? And what did they find? Let us see. the source

There is no historical record that Pilate presided over a hearing for Jesus, or that he said any of the things attributed to him. In fact, given what we know about Roman governance, the entire story seems very unlikely.

The encounter between Jesus and Pilate could me the most philosophically powerful moment in world literature.
Except, of course,for the fact that no Christian has ever grasped the meaning of it.

For Jesus Christ the Truth was and it is all the Teaching coming from Jehovah God His Father:
"I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me" (John 5:30. Bible).
