Pilate asks Jesus, "What is truth?"

When Pilate asks, "Quid est veritas?" (What is truth?), Jesus does not answer him.

This is because the answer to Pilate's question is contained within the question itself.

By rearranging the letters of the words in the question, one can find the answer to it:
"Est vir qui adest."
(IT IS THE MAN WHO IS BEFORE YOU)
