5453. 'And your words will be tested, whether the truth is with you' means that in this way the truth of the matter will be established. This is clear from the meaning of 'words being tested' and of 'whether it is the truth' as its being a certainty that the truth will in that case come out, that is to say, it will be seen whether what they said was the truth. This certainty is concerned with what they stated and the things contained in the internal sense of their statements, dealt with above in 5434-5444.
