John 18. [NIV Dramatized Audio

Jesus answered one of His hostile interrogaters and the High Priest with an accurate, truthful answer in response to their incriminating questions. He was slapped for the boldness with which He spoke to the High Priest. His response … “I spoke the truth.”

Speaking the truth may be painful and cost us. However, it will have positive eternal consequences and gives God something to work with. Lies and deception uproot His operation.
