Summary/Abstract: The present article examines the theme of „testifying to the truth”, from a fragment of the dialogue between Jesus and Pilate (John 18, 37). The academic exegesis usually understands this text as being detached from the dialogue, like a last sermon of Jesus towards Christians before His Crucifixion (or like a last theological insertion from the part of the evangelist). My paper, however, underlines the fact that „testifying to the truth” has a natural logic inside the dialogue between Jesus and Pilate, and the Johannine theology of „truth” is being adapted to the level of understanding of the Roman governor.
