Close, but no cigar.  The truth is the truth; there are no versions.  Now,
someone may believe something is the truth and it turns out it only partially
the truth; or someone may say something is the truth and it is nothing but a
lie.  Either way, truth is truth is truth, there are no versions except the one
that is.
