“Then you are a king?”
‘Well, you tell me.’
So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he again went out to the Jews and said to them, “I find no guilt in him.”
So Socratic. It’s on them. When Jesus is questioned, Jesus always puts it back on them.
37 You tell me… Am I a king? Read 38 too!!
38 You tell me… What is the truth? Then in referrencing 37- You are wanting to know the truth, are you listening to my voice?
Did you notice- There was no need for Jesus to say a word in 38 in order for Pilate to make his decision? Not a word from Jesus.
