John 18:33-34 “So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?’” What do you know about Jesus? Whatever that is, how do you know it? In the verses…

Exaggeration?
John 21:25 “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” Exaggeration: it’s something that all of us are prone to if the truth be told. It’s a characteristic of the human condition. …
