Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Ver. 37. That I should bear witness of the truth] Our Saviour speaketh religiously to a profane person; so doth Jacob to Esau, Genesis 33:5. Each countryman is known by his language. God will turn to all his people a pure lip, Zephaniah 3:9. They are none of his that can shift their sails to the setting of every wind, tune their fiddles to other men's bass, and as the planet Mercury, be good in conjunction with good, and bad with bad.
