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." (John6:68, 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 world used here (a-le-thi-nos' ) implies genuineness in this sense, Jesus is the true light and the true bread that came down out of heaven. (John 15:1) Jesus is also true in the sense that he is trustworthy. He always speak the truth. (See John 8:14, 17, 26.) This Son of God is indeed worthy to serve as King and Judge. - REVELATION 19:11, 16.
