Pilate

Facts:

Pilate was the governor of the Roman province of Judea who sentenced Jesus to death.

  • Because Pilate was the governor, he had the authority to put criminals to death.

  • Pilate realized that Jesus was not guilty, but he was afraid of the crowd and wanted to please them, so he ordered his soldiers to crucify Jesus.

*39-09 Early the next morning, the Jewish leaders brought Jesus to Pilate, the Roman governor. They hoped that Pilate would condemn Jesus as guilty and sentenced him to be killed. Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?" *39-10 Pilate said, "What is truth?" *39-11 After speaking with Jesus, Pilate went out to the crowd and said, "I find no guilt in this man." But the Jewish leaders and the crowd shouted, "Crucify him!" Pilate replied, "He is not guilty." But they shouted even louder. Then Pilate said a third time, "He is not guilty!" *39-12 Pilate became afraid that the crowd would begin to riot, so he ordered his soldiers to crucify Jesus. *40-02 Pilate commanded that a sign be put above Jesus' head that read, "King of the Jews." *41-02 Pilate said, "Take some soldiers and make the tomb as secure as you can."
