A verse in the Book of Edras (Ezra) in the Latin Vulgate Bible, which was in common use before the English language King James Bible, reads "Magna est veritas et praevalet" which means "Great is the truth and it prevails". The version in the question is a common misrepresentation which actually means "The truth is great and shall prevail"
