Why does Jesus not answer Pontius Pilate?
Jesus was a bit cryptic over the question of whether or not He was a "king"... but He did answer Pilate: "...Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto Him, Thou sayest." (Matt.27:11) "...Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the Truth. Every one that is of the Truth heareth My voice. Pilate saith unto Him, What is Truth?..." (John 18:37-38). It was the Jews whom He didn't answer: "And when He was accused of the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing." (verse 12) Jesus didn't answer Pilate on his question about "Truth," however.
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).

What is the theme of the story of Jesus before Pilate?
The theme is that of Belief vs Unbelief. At one point Jesus said to Pilate that he was the Truth. Pilate replied: what is truth? He certainly did not know because the Truth was standing right in front of him as he asked this question. Pilate by "washing" his hands of Jesus's death was actually showing his guilt. It was not Jesus who was on trial but rather Pilate himself and through his actions or lack thereof he convicted himself. Possibly there are a number of themes and sub-themes here. Pilate was also known at times as being one who was very cruel to the Jews and also very stubborn. Here he is seen as being weak and bowing to pressure, which some have interpreted as being out of character. However on one previous occasion when he had caused gross offense to the Jews by allowing some votive shields to be placed where they should not be (according to the Jews religion) and would not yield to their pleas to remove them, they threatened and then actually did send a report to Caesar, who swiftly rebuked Pilate and ordered their removal. When at Jesus' trial the Jews said 'if you let this man go you are no friend of Caesar,' Pilate understood their meaning. This was a thinly veiled threat to do the same again - probably with dire consequences for Pilate. (Pilate of course knew the Jews wanted the Romans out and were themselves not great lovers of Caesar). The theme here could be stated in several ways - every man has his price. In this case Pilate valued his skin over justice. He bowed to pressure. 'Leverage' could be another way of stating it or 'between a rock and a hard place.'
How does Judaism experience the Ultimate Truth?

The law of God - where does it come from?
It is a fundamental principle that all law comes from and applies only to the jurisdiction in which it is enacted and Scripture says that Jesus often spoke about the Kingdom of Heaven and just before He was crucified He claimed to be a King when Pilate asked Him "'are you the King of the Jews? … Jesus ed, 'my kingdom is not of this world; …. Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?' Jesus ed, 'You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the truth. Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.' (John Ch 18)Therefore the Law of God must come from and relate only to the Kingdom of Heaven where Jesus Christ is King? and indeed following on from this Jesus said "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me"
What is the real truth?
The real truth is this, ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Relative truth (or the truth that the non-believers have) is not truth, they don't have truth until they accept Jesus Christ! The giver of Absolute truth, because Jesus is that true truth!
