Thematic Bible: Christ, a witness to the truth


Thematic Bible




I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.

Truly, I say to you, We say that of which we have knowledge; we give witness of what we have seen; and you do not take our witness to be true.

He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.
