The following two verses is where the rubber meets the road.
John 8:43-47, “Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to my Word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe Me? The one who is from God listens to God’s Words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”
John 18:37-38, “Your are a king then?” Pilate asked. “You say that I’m a king.” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.” “What is truth?” said Pilate.
Obviously, Pilate did not know what truth was. Jesus is a King by force of truth in a spiritual kingdom. Jesus spoke not of opinions, views, or speculations, but of infallible truths.
