What if Pilate had listened to Jesus

He had asked the right question
in the midst of the storm
he had the opening
life evermore

What if Pilate had listened to Jesus
that he was a king,
offering truth
that he may live

What if Pilate had waited
to hear Christ’s answer
the question, “What is truth?”,
left hanging in midair.

18:37-38
“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. Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.”
