He was amazed that Jesus could listen to people accusing him and not respond. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2018:37-39&version=NIV 2009-09-25T09:07:06-05:00 When Jesus was before Pilate, he merely said that his goal was to bring truth, not to be a king. Pilate dismissively asked him what is truth and turned to the crowd for their decision on whether Jesus should live or die.
