When,in court,you swear to tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth and then tell a lie.
to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God
The oath is "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." As you right hand is held up
Because you took an oath to "tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" in the presence of a judge or magistrate. To not tell the truth is lying ... that would put one in position of being in contempt of court.
In the UK, swearing on the bible in court you say: I do swear, by almighty God, that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
the people in the court room swore to tell the whole truth.
Will you tell me the whole truth?
This is the phrase: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The whole truth.
No. The oath is objective, not subjective. The witness is asked to testify to the objective truth. We could make it more subjective (by saying "do you swear to tell what you believe to be the truth" or words to that effect) but not less so.
