Why did Jesus during his trial with pontius Pilot not answer Pilot's question What is truth?
The passage this question refers to is John 18:33-38 in the Bible. (specifically verses 37-38)
37"You are a king, then!" said Pilate.
Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." 38"What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him.
-(NIV )
Pilate seems to be asking a rhetorical question, as he leaves Jesus' presence before he has the chance to answer. "What is truth?" as if to say, "there is no such thing as truth", or "there is no One truth", or "give me a break". Had Pilate been truly inquiring Jesus would have responded, but as it was Pilate seems more concerned with relieving the political pressure be placed on him by the Jewish religious authorities of the day.
If Pilate's question is sincere, then perhaps his immediate departure to plead Jesus' innocence (v. 38) reveals a desire of Pilate's to speak privately with Jesus, after having cleared his name.
But as is evident, whether or not Pilate's question is sincere, Pilate's immediate concern is with maintaining order. Order at any cost was how Rome stayed in power and this was Pilate's duty. So, to that end, Pilate's first concern was to appease the angry mob and religious leaders (both of which pressure Pilate in all four gospels), even if that means ordering the execution of a man who he strongly believes is innocent. And that is just what happens (continue reading into John chapter 19).

Historically and Biblically, this question can be very hard to . It is my opinion that the trial of Jesus never happen, and the death of Jesus cannot be blamed on the Pharisses or Pontius Pilate. Neither one killed Jesus. Jesus was predestined by God to die on the cross, and God used the Pharisses, Pontius Pilate and Judas to accomplish this.
