Nikolai Ge (1831-1894) - "What is truth?", 1890

 


      In John 18:37-38, Pontius Pilate asks Jesus "What is truth?" during his trial, a cynical or sceptical question posed to the one who declared himself to be truth itself. Jesus testified that his kingdom is not of this world, embodying absolute, divine truth rather than abstract, worldly definitions. Many interpretations suggest Pilate asked this in disdain, irony, or scepticism, walking away without waiting for an answer.
