{What is truth?} (	i estin al(8874)heia;). This famous sneer
of Pilate reveals his own ignorance of truth, as he stood before
Incarnate Truth ( Joh 14:6 ). _Quid est veritas?_ The answer in
Latin is _Vir est qui adest_ as has been succinctly said by the
use of the same letters. Pilate turned with indifference from his
own great question and rendered his verdict: "I find no crime in
him" (eg(9320)oudemian heurisk(9320)en aut(9369) aitian). For this use of
aitia see  Mt 27:37  Mr 15:26 . Pilate therefore should have
set Jesus free at once.
