This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Truth
Not with the article as in the previous verse, the truth. Jesus meant the absolute truth: Pilate, truth in any particular case. “Pilate's exclamation is neither the expression of an ardent thirst for truth, nor that of the despair of a soul which has long sought it in vain; it is the profession of a frivolous skepticism, such as is frequently met with in the man of the world, and especially in the statesman” (Godet).
Fault (αἰτίαν)
Properly, cause of accusation. Rev., crime. See on Mat 27:37, and compare note on Mat 19:10.
