“Pilate was cynical; he thought that all truth was relative. To many government officials, truth was whatever the majority of people agreed with or whatever helped advance their own personal power and political goals.
When there is no basis for truth, there is no basis for moral right and wrong. Justice becomes whatever works or whatever helps those in power.
In Jesus and His Word we have a standard for truth and for our moral behavior.”
~ Mark 15 footnotes, Faithlife NIV Study Bible, Zondervan
