In the original Latin, it was an anagram for -
"It is the man before you" in Latin.

Random fact: quid est veritas may be anagrammatized to est vir qui adest. "Est vir qui adest" means "It is the man who is present here" or "It is the man before you." Subtle wordplay on St. Jerome's part?

And 'Sedative Squirt!'
Pontius Pilate is also an anagram of 'A Pointless Punt', and that's what that sounds like.

I just got back from a Good Friday service only an hour or so ago. This drawing definitely caught my attention. Well done.

Dixit itaque ei Pilatus ergo rex es tu respondit Iesus tu dicis quia rex sum ego ego in hoc natus sum et ad hoc veni in mundum ut testimonium perhibeam veritati omnis qui est ex veritate audit meam vocem

Sed Latine reddere de Vulgatum de sanctus Jeromus inferior est ad pulchrissima lingua Anglorum de forma Jacobus Rex!

I love how you drew Jesus here, and it's very appropriate for this week too. By the way, what does the title of this piece mean? I don't know Latin well.

It means 'What is truth?' It was Pilate's come-back when Jesus said 'Everyone that is of the truth heareth my voice.'

We all have our own truths, our own sides of the story. Question is......which one is right?

Nice, especially for the lenten/easter season. I also like how kinda hid the title in the background.

I played Pilate at my schools reproduction. Can't say I had as cool armor... actually I didnt even have a red cloth.
Stunning as always.

As always your technique and choice of themes is amazing! Your commentary reminds of the meeting between Pontius Pilate and Yeshua Ha-Nozri in Bulgakov's novel "The Master & Margarita."
