John had heard Peter say to the man Jesus Christ: "You have sayings of everlasting life; and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:68, 69) Since Jehovah God is the very essence of holiness, his only-begotten Son must also be "holy." (Revelation 4:8) Jesus is also "true." The Greek word used here (a-le-thi-nos') implies genuineness. In this sense, Jesus is the true light and the true bread that came down from heaven. (John 1:9;6:32) He is the true vine. (John 15:1) Jesus is true also in the sense that he is trustworthy. He always speaks the truth. (See John 8:14, 17, 26.) The Son of God is indeed worthy to serve as King and Judge. -REVELATION 19:11, 16.
