“So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king. For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”” John 18: 37 - 38 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/18

“The Guru Effect” - People mistaking profound for what they fail to grasp - new words are introduces to produce an unnecessary barrier of intellectual impenetrability

“Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” John 14: 5 - 7 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/14


Jesus then said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8: 31 - 32 - https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/8


“To obey (from the Latin ob-audire, to "hear or listen to") in faith is to submit freely to the word that has been heard, because its truth is guaranteed by God, who is Truth itself. Abraham is the model of such obedience offered us by Sacred Scripture. The Virgin Mary is its most perfect embodiment.” - Catechism of the Catholic Church, 144 - https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/41/#zoom=z
