Episode Details

Why ask a question if you have no interest in the truth? Pilate, the Roman governor, does exactly that -- he asks Jesus a series of questions but ultimately dismisses any idea of truth at all. He tosses the responsibility of deciding what to do with Jesus to the crowds, but they are just as disinterested in the truth as Pilate. Everyone, it seems, wants whatever will serve themselves the best, regardless of whether it is right or true. In the midst of this continuing trial, Jesus remains full of grace and truth, something the world desperately needs but cannot recognize.

For Reflection:

- How might you describe Pilate's relationship with truth?

- How might people today be tempted to define truth according to their own preferences rather than what is actually real? Where might you be tempted to make a similar compromise?

- How might curiosity and humility help you navigate a world with a strained relationship with truth, and with Jesus?

- One-Line Prayer: Jesus, help me listen to your voice and live faithfully under your authority.
