In a confused world

• John 1837-38 - 37Pilate therefore said to Him,
  Are You a king then? Jesus answered, You say
  rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was
  born, and for this cause I have come into the
  world, that I should bear witness to the truth.
  Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.
  38Pilate said to Him, What is truth? And when
  he had said this, he went out again to the Jews,
  and said to them, I find no fault in Him at all.
