Why Did Pontius Pilate Have Jesus Executed? | The Man Who Killed Christ | Timeline 

That makes no sense. One does not have pity on the strong?

Exactly. And human nature hasn't chane in millenia. The same kinds of rabid individuals calling for Jesus' death are the same sort pursuing the former U.S. President. Mob rule with no common sense or compassion.

He most likely saw Jesus as a political threat to Rome

yup thanks, he did his best! and got cleaned out of this continuing mess! But I don't think any roman man was weak! back in that time!

The Bible isn't a historical documentation of various periods of history. It's a collection of stories.

Pilate was a misunderstood genius that launched Christianity. Jesus would just be some desert trash loser without ol' Ponty.

These historians like to stand against the scriptures disagreeing with a weak picture of Pilate. Yet we know Pilate had learned over time he HAD to be more diplomatic,etc. He tried to avoid revolt but the gospel says Pilate mingled the blood of Jews with their sacrifices so they show he could be brutal. Being a very religious Roman when his wife sent a messenger to him saying she had a dream about Jesus and that he was “JUST”and she suffered a great deal because of the dream. This impressed Pilate. Pilate hated the priests he knew they were corrupt he knew the scripture says it was their” envy “of Jesus they delivered Him.Stupid historians. Biased not being balanced. Dr Howard

Pilate was not weak, but a politician who was ambitious. Any governor of Judea wanted out of that crucible. He plaid his time. Unfortunately, only a few years after the crucifixion he was dead. He was the massacre of the Galileans some five years before. He had not consulted Herod when he intruded upon that territory and as such, the Gospels tell us that they had been enemies. This time, in order to appease Herod, he decided to end this Galilean to Galilee and let Herod deal with it. That was not a sign of weakness it was crafty politician refusing to deal directly with a crisis. I am not sure what historians these commentators are using but my library has the likes of Geikie, Gibbon, Josephus, Rollins, Ridpath, Schaff, Mosheim, etc. and none of them paint Pilate as weak. The Jews were told in Luke 21:24, that they would be scattered. This happened in 70 A.D., just as Jesus prophesied. Not one stone was left upon another. "They" wrote their own dead warrant by using the Roman government to kill the Son of God. Then to cover their filthy tracks, they perpetually deny the validity of the New Testament, when even Paul, more concerned about their salvation than anything else, wrote the book of Hebrews, attempting to warn them that the destruction of the Temple was coming. But Paul would not claim authorship of that book, because the Jews were so stiff-necked that they wouldn't read anything that Paul wrote because he was taking the Gospel to the Gentiles. Same ole story today. .

Pilot ran judea. Harod was puppet king at king at best

Yeah, growing up I learned that Pilate interviewed Jesus and just gave him back to the Jewish priests and Herod ( like as if he didn't have time for this nonsense.) Herod was the one running around with his head cut off like a chicken.

Well, its not realy facts in the bible, so......

Exactly. Weak? Hardly

If a Roman Prefect is washing his hands to try to absolve himself of blame or guilt for the sentencing of an insurgent and being heavily influenced by the Jewish high priests, that's displaying weakness. A Roman Prefect was tasked with two primary objectives; collect taxes and keep the peace by quelling any uprisings against the empire. The canonical gospels definitely depict Pilate as weak by the standards of the day.

"Exactly" Is it possible for you to start with the words, IMPO, In my personal opinion.", albeit shared by millions? Does it prove you are right Please Note. Pilate was following the laws, rules, and orders of Rome. Is this a religious site? There is NO proof there ever was a historical Jesus. NOTHING. I can see that all of the people on this site are Christians. Good trick. They were not "Quite Nasty" they were typical of governors and/or soldiers of that time and place. The "Probably" from 7:54 on, is just nonsense speculation. "Probably" is more like, "Maybe" because she has NO IDEA. I´m out. This is NOT accurate history, but historical TV entertainment with a Christian bias made for 8-16-year-olds on a Sunday afternoon. Goodbye kiddies.

I agree with you. He was also a very clever and tactful politician which is why some may perceive him as weak.

And I agree with you.

Who was He threatening ? A careful read will reveal who really led Christ away and crucified Him !

except on 1/6/21.

The Jerusalem Temple authorities had their own "Temple Guard" that arrested Christ, brought Him to the Sanhedrin for condemnation, and later presented Him before Pilate for execution. After finding Christ innocent of any wrongdoing, Pilate told the Temple authorities themselves to execute Him, and "THEY" led Him away, and "THEY" crucified Him. The Sanhedrin had no authority to execute anyone without Roman consent, which they cleverly extorted out of reluctant Pilate. The Romans also had to witness that they only executed those consented to - not any Roman sympathizers or Roman spies, and finally Christ was already dead when He was speared in the heart: Read each Gospel account very carefully and you will see that THIS is the TRUTH ! People try to absolve those guilty for crucifying Christ, but He disagrees with that view: "‭The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.‭" (Matthew 26:24) "Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.‭ ‭Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.‭ ‭Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. ‭They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.‭ ‭Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.‭ ‭Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.‭ ‭Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.‭ ‭Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. ‭For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. ‭Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. ‭Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.‭" (Psalm 69:18-28) "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.‭" (Luke 19:27) "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.‭ ‭I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.‭ ‭They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.‭" (Psalm 22:16-18) Scholars agree that "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" was inserted into the later manuscripts. It is not found in the earlier manuscripts. People say that it was re-inserted in the later manuscripts because it was removed in the earlier manuscripts. Yet if that is true, what EXACTLY was removed ? Was it "Father, forgive them NOT; for they KNOW what they do." ? This would corroborate the verses above where He does NOT forgive them. We must forgive OUR enemies, we cannot forgive OTHER people's enemies FOR them, that is up to THEM, and we also cannot forgive the enemies of GOD - that is up to HIM in His infinite wisdom !

@ℂ'𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕊𝕚 𝔹𝕠𝕟! It didn't make sense to me at first either. I believe when they say weak, they're referring to his bargaining position...having the under hand in the negotiations for what to do with Jesus.

It was politics. He took the easy route and chose the most "peaceful" situation instead of choosing the principled route.

@TheMeJustme75: In religious studies in college we learned that his wife, Claudia Procura, sent a note to him saying "Have nothing to do with this just man, I have suffered terribly in a dream because of him". She is considered a saint in the Orthodox church. Fascinating that her words were handed down through the years. History is so great!

Lol yeah exactly. Also Gethsemane, the three witnesses were all asleep yet we know what Jesus said, someone much have been hiding up an olive tree to record his words :)

Whatever the accuracy of the reported conversation, your question presumes Jesus and Pilate were alone which I think would be rather unlikely, most interrogations of criminals happen with other people present. (In fact, Pilate could himself also have reported the conversation to others, for example particularly to his wife.)

@@meteorquake9 ok, i mean the scenario you outline is rather far fetched but yes technically possible. What about my Gethsemane example, how were Jesus' words there reported, recorded and make their way into the gospels?

@@neilus I don't see why you consider it far-fetched that other people would have been at the interrogation given that's how things are normally done (unless you were referring to my other comment, which I just take as a candidate possibility). In regards to Gethsemane, taking the story as is without regard to accuracy, you're misreading it. Jesus goes there with his disciples and prays a while, they'll have been awake a lot of the duration but eventually fell asleep. What's reported would be the parts whilst the disciples were awake.

Absolutely ridiculous. Are you seriously suggesting that some servant or maid happened to over hear their conversation, remember it word for word, tell other people, it is then passed around by word of mouth for decades until it finds it's way into the gospels? Well, obviously you think it's not ridiculous, I think it is.

We're in 2023 and you have NOT installed an ad blocker yet?? THIS can't be believed in ^^

To say that Pontius Pilate was the one responsible for the unlawful sentence is the same as to say today that the judges are responsible for the sentence layed to the guilty. Because Judea was under control of Romans and Romans relied on the good relationship with the dominated one, so they could get the taxes paid and avoid problems with the zealots, the current terrorists for the Romans, the Romans asked the dominated people what to do with they man and "they" decided that the man should die in the cross. There are lots of movie and videos out there with the same agenda of rewriting history to let us know that the Romans are the one to blame and the people of Judea are not guilty. Not matter what they do, they'll never change the truth by flooding the media with these types of videos.

@@valso1210 💯

That's probably why Jews are unliked in many quarters.

@@valso1210 Your analysis runs counter to common sense as you present it. In what nation in history are the colonized people ever responsible for the law as it is employed by the colonizers? The argument of the Christians since that time has always been a way of distinguishing themselves from the colonized Jews but also from the dominant Romans.

@@valso1210 When Pilate said shall i impale you King the Jews replied we have no King but Caesar. Pilate offered Jesus to be released in change for Barrabus the Jews refused it was the Jews that executed Jesus but it was foretold by the prophets.

The Jews wanted Jesus dead.

Did jews make this video. So predictable.

Nice story.

Of course !

He did everything he could to save him but the "You know who's" demanded their blood sacrifice. Pilate was there to keep the peace but with a bunch of rabid savages and their thirst for blood he needed to save himself and his soldiers so gave them Jesus as they demanded. He washed his hands of the affair. Pilate cannot be blamed for what the J's did. ALL the blame lies solely with them for all eternity and no-one else. This documentary if you want to call it that is trying to absolve the J's of blame in any way. Someone has received their 30 pieces of silver to make this that's a certainty.

All according to Gods will.

It was the Pharisses the religious leaders in those days who hatched a plan to kill Jesus not the Jewish population. They send their followers to instigate the Jewish crowd to shout for Jesus to be crucified. D world must know this truth.

In other words-the Jews.Right?

Yes, I agree. As a child I always thought that Pontius was an adjective “ oh, he was very pontious that Mr Pilate “ 😊.

Thank you, I was just about to say the same.

Something is known about his subsequent career, but it isn't where I expected to find it. All that I could find were 'traditions' from the Christian era.

@Yakov Shani The Italians call Paris "Parigi." the French call Deutschland "Allemand." The list goes on. Why single out the British?

And that would make him a whole different person, right?

@@connorhilchie2779 he could have had Jesus locked up for a while until things quietened down

Pilate: Don't you have anything to say on your own behalf? Don't you know that l have the power to set you free or put you to death on a cross? Jesus said "You have no power over me lest it be given to you from above. For that reason the one who handed me over to you is guilty of the worse crime."

The Jerusalem Temple authorities had their own "Temple Guard" that arrested Christ, brought Him to the Sanhedrin for condemnation, and later presented Him before Pilate for execution. After finding Christ innocent of any wrongdoing, Pilate told the Temple authorities themselves to execute Him, and "THEY" led Him away, and "THEY" crucified Him. The Sanhedrin had no authority to execute anyone without Roman consent, which they cleverly extorted out of reluctant Pilate. The Romans also had to witness that they only executed those consented to - not any Roman sympathizers or Roman spies, and finally Christ was already dead when He was speared in the heart: Read each Gospel account very carefully and you will see that THIS is the TRUTH !

The Jewish Pharisees were afraid ofJesus' popularity, and infuence on the people, and feared that he would expose their corruption. People were suspicious of the Jewish priests, and Jesus was declared callateral damage.

What Did Pilate’s Wife See in Her Dream? “While Pilate was still seated on the bench, his wife sent him a message, ‘Have nothing to do with that righteous man. I suffered much in a dream today because of him.’” (Matthew 27:19)

I always thought he saw this as a local problem. He tried to mitigate it, but to no avail. why would he really care that much.

In the gospels, Pilate explicitly states that Jesus was innocent. But, he was over a political barrel. Keeping the Roman 'pax' mattered more than justice for one man.

If he was so convinced of Jesus' innocence why not release him?Roman administrators did not take orders from provincials.Rather,they gave the orders.

@@lainefrajberg955 answer is simple he was made a puppet in the hands of high priests miney changers and their follower jews.. So he was helpless and didn't wanted to start new conflict ib the name of Jesus whome he hardly gives any value.. He asked a few questions and he did not get any satisfactory reply to showcase before the crowd.. It was those days not like today. If the crowd were triggered beyond a point who knows they will attack pilate or a civil war will broke out.. So Pilate acted passive in the whole episode.. And washed his hands off.

@@lainefrajberg955 You don't seem to understand how uniquely difficult it was for the Romans to govern Judea. It was a constantly rebellious province due to the monotheistic ideals of the Jews, always trying to break out from under Roman rule. I think that reading the accounts, Pilate was indeed convinced that Jesus was no threat to Roman order. What was the threat to Roman order, was the fact that the Jews were shouting "We have no king but Caesar," ie. putting Pilate over a barrel: he had no choice but send Jesus off to be crucified to maintain peace and order.

What is important now is his legend and his messages. I am positive he never wanted any conflict or war or holocaust happen as a result of his death.

Thank you for sharing. This documentary is beating around the bush. The key questions are 1.was Jesus a violent religious leader? 2.Did Pontius Pilate see Jesus as the leader of Jewish insurrection? 3.Did Roman Empire has a sound legal procedure system at this point of history? I believe the answers are No for 1, No for 2, and Yes for 3. So, what’s the point? The point is that Pontius Pilate knew Jesus was innocent as charged. Why then did he order the crucifixion? No historical facts are handed down. It comes down to whom you believe. I believe the Bible.

Maybe there is a difference between "complaints" as "theurapeutics", and informed comments as a feedback about conflicting information. Have you ever thought of that, or do you always blindly believe that whatever you see and hear from what you are trained to perceive as an "authority" is unquestionable "truth"? And see as you mission in life to act as their coward attack dog online?

Jews lived in Rome (the city) from at least 300 BC and likely earlier, including in other ancient cities beyond Judeah. Romans were tolerant of the many various religions and cults that they found among people around Mediterranean, Middle east, Asia Minor, north Africa, Europe, including Britannia. The Romans frowned on human sacrifice and ended such practices, i.e., as did the Druids, Celts, ..

the phrase "to wash one's hands of" comes from Pilate in the Bible, Matthew 27:24: When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" Matthew 27:24 New International Version Not from Josephus

@@nazirkazi2588 So if I were to write a history of the Second World War, that war would be a fable because I'm writing about an event that took place over seventy years ago?

Thank you for sharing. Very informative

I think your assessment is very close to the truth here sir.

What you have written is very good . I have always believed that pilot was put in a position he couldn't get out of without offending Rome, however I also believe he saw something in Jesus that bothered him . I think he might have let Him go if not for the priests. I know that he had to protect Roman law but Jesus did tell him that His kingdom is not of this world and not a threat to Pilot or Rome. Maybe that is niece but I think the sign over Jesus head was to mock the Jews and not Jesus, after this was all set from the be begining of time. Be good to one another!

University dissertation, you say? There is no evidence Jesus existed and there is no Roman record of the trial told as a story in the Bible. You would think such excellent record keepers like the Romans would have some recod of Jesus. Jesus is more of a myth than King Arthur.

The very idea that Pilate wasted his time talking to some convicted criminal is a fictional cailm for which we have no support in other source outside if the fan fiction about Yeshuah. It is a fictional story element to make that dead criminal mir appealing to a Roman audience.

I wonder if that number was exaggerated. How could they have captured all those people? From all accounts it takes them all night to crucify three people. Even if they crucified sixteen people per day, they only got up to six thousand after a year. Maybe if they left them to dry up there, after a year, they would still be there!

@@joanlynch5271 Many soldiers working simultaneously. It was Pompey who was said to have done it after a slave uprising.

Indeed. Slave rebel leader Spartacus was crucified as well. It was a very common and pubic way to punish people who did stand in the way of Rome. Later in history the Romanian king Vlad Dracula (who gave inspiration to Bram Stoker’s Dracula) impaled his enemies on sticks and displayed them in his kingdom to punish them and scare away possible more enemies. The British did the same to traitors to the King/Queen by having them drawn, hanged, beheaded and quartered and displaying their heads on spikes.

Sadly, there were many more than 6000 crucifixions in Jerusalem in the late 70s of the first century

@@lovely7983 Nope!

​@@lovely7983 The burden of proof is yours. Don't even try the bible (notice the lower-case b) that's just an anthological mess of some ancient tales (basically copied and massaged from Sumerian, Egyptian... lore, fantasies, and tales) mixed with ridiculously propagandist fabrications and contradictions. I bet you’re a so-called Christian simply because you inherited it from your mom’s breasts and never dared to challenge, question, freely debate or self-access your sheep-like adherence. I say ‘so-called’ because almost all who think are Christians in the US (and elsewhere… like Rome, for example) are VISIBLY and consistently the most unchristian INDIVIDUALS and GROUPS (really cabals) all around.

@Martin Luther they always play that game in an attempt to put you on the defensive. They well know that they themselves cannot logically disprove the Gospels, or the whole Bible for that matter. Their only alternative is a feeble attempt to muddy the water by bringing up Sumerian, Egyptian, or whatever they can throw into the mix. There are similarities (even parallels) in many historical events of the past. I'm sure one can find similarities about Lincoln and Kennedy, Cyrus and Trump, etc etc. Then as the events fades away to the distant past, emphasis is then focused on the similarities, making them greater than actual reality. That kind of mentality which foolishly ignores historical facts is bordering on the hopeless.

It is understandable to not understand their desperation because they are attempting to scapegoat all of Christianity for the crimes of a few. Also, they wish to scapegoat Pilate in order to acquit the 'High Priests' who represented whatever Jewish authority existed. Jesus escaped numerous attempts to kill him. Notice how they refer to the 'Christian Cult' on several occasions.

Perhaps one could think of the two lady historians as being 'the temple priest' view of the day, and then and same as now, serving both the convergence of Rome (state power) and that of their own bread and butter interests. And this would lead us straight back to Pilate's question, "What is truth?" [Good comment and I thought the same ... and funny how some things never appear to change!]

How on earth was this encounter with Pilate and Jesus recorded? The idea that their was a third person in the room favorable to the son of god is absurd.

@@timmyg44 Good point....I hope that you have read the Gospels, especially Luke's writings, before posing this question. From New Testament, we know that post resurrection, Jesus was with the disciples for 40 days and taught them (Acts 1:3). It is very likely that He would have told them what had happened in His trial, leading to the crucifixion. There are also possible sources of converts within the Roman ranks like the officer whose servant Jesus healed(Matt 8:5-13) and the wife of Chuza(household manager of Herod) was an early convert(Luke 8:2). Luke also had access to many eyewitness and let us not forget that he was a historian too and had investigated all these events from the beginning (Luke 1:3), and archeologist Sir William Ramsay considered him "a historian of the first rank". So, compared to Philo, Luke gives us much better insight. Hope this helps......and a Merry Christmas to you 🙂🙂

@@PrashansaGriho evidence for the contents of the conversation between Pilate and Jesus gets even problematic when it gets explained away by a supernatural event, or Jesus telling all after he had risen.

We also have other instances where Jesus is alone but his conversations with God are recorded. And a very Merry Christmas to you too.

@@465marko I write to you from an Orthodox perspective, not Roman Catholic or Protestant (there are about 220 million Orthodox Christians in the world, but only about 1.5 million in the USA). It is the majority faith in Greece and most of Eastern Europe, including both Ukrainians and Russians. The Orthodox view is distinct from Roman Catholicism and in Protestantism - we believe that sin is primarily a terminal spiritual sickness that needs to be healed, rather than a state of damning guilt. This sickness distorts the whole human being and their energy, it corrupts. Sin diminishes the divine likeness within us, it disorients and distracts a person from fulfilling his natural potential to become united and in synergy with God. The goal for Orthodox Christians is to partake in the divine energy of God during our very own lifetimes, walking and working in synergy with Him. We do not say that someone is "saved" only by believing in God (mostly just american protestants say this, and only some of them say that). We believe we must have faith but also "walk the walk"; true faith is evident in how we act - primarily if we love one another, and if we perservere to do the same - especially when it gets tough. As far as Judgment, we believe that is 100% up to God, and that no two people will be judged the same. No believer in Orthodoxy would substitute their judgment for that of the perfect judgment of God. Here's a great verse that sums things up nicely: "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his fellow man, then he is a liar. How can anyone who hates his brothers and sisters, who he has seen, love God, who he has not seen?" - First Book of the Apostle James, Chapter 4, verse 20.

Oh hey don't forget Pontius Kojak. That man was brutal.

The Sanhedrin had no authority to execute anyone without Roman consent, which they cleverly extorted out of reluctant Pilate. The Romans also had to witness that they only executed those consented to - not any Roman sympathizers or Roman spies, and finally Christ was already dead when He was speared in the heart: Read each Gospel account very carefully and you will see that THIS is the TRUTH ! People try to absolve those guilty for crucifying Christ, but He disagrees with that view: "‭The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.‭" (Matthew 26:24) "Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.‭ ‭Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.‭ ‭Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. ‭They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.‭ ‭Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.‭ ‭Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.‭ ‭Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.‭ ‭Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. ‭For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. ‭Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. ‭Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.‭" (Psalm 69:18-28) "But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.‭" (Luke 19:27) "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.‭ ‭I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.‭ ‭They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.‭" (Psalm 22:16-18) Scholars agree that "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do" was inserted into the later manuscripts. It is not found in the earlier manuscripts. People say that it was re-inserted in the later manuscripts because it was removed in the earlier manuscripts. Yet if that is true, what EXACTLY was removed ? Was it "Father, forgive them NOT; for they KNOW what they do." ? This would corroborate the verses above where He does NOT forgive them. We must forgive OUR enemies, we cannot forgive OTHER people's enemies FOR them, that is up to THEM, and we also cannot forgive the enemies of GOD - that is up to HIM in His infinite wisdom !

Centuries after the supposed incident.

The didn't.

He was scared of the mob rioting

MATTHEW 22: 19 "Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's."

And they said to Pilot you will be no friend of Cesar...

@@plantbasedanalyst6263 quote-----It's all hogwash--unquote----ONLY YOUR OPINION--NO FACTS

Of course if Jesus was a historicized legend, then Pilot's objection was written by later authors and not reflective of thd real Pilot.

I think so.

Funny... that's how liberals go after people nowadays.

There’s a squawker in every crowd.

So many examples of that in this present time!

@@mlady6564 Yep, nothing new under the sun, is there.

There’s not?

@@hannahlarocco4699 No, none that has been found. What we know: Pilate was proconsul of Judea, from Damascus to Egypt, He was sent to quell the unrest in the area because he knew Herod Agrippa, Pilate did not return to Judea, Caligula assended the throne and according to roman custom ignored all transgression (pardoned?), Josephus, Philo, and Tacitus do not mention Pilate's suicide nor execution, and finally Pilates ten year as governor was over. there is some evidence he retired to his estate in central Italy, but it is tenuous (a copy of a stone tablet).

The letters of Herod, found in the lost books of the Bible, give different accounts of his death.

@@augustajeter6035 the problem with the letters is the language they are written in, 16th century English. Pilate was a proconsul, which means he was a former consul appointed by the senate and a former general. "He was in sole charge of the army, of justice, and of administration in his province and could not be prosecuted for maladministration until his office expired." what this means he reported to the senate, not the emperor. So Tiberius could not question him. Tiberius could order Pilate to fall on his sward, and Pilate as a general do would so. Tiberius died before Pilate arrived, Caligula was emperor, therefore Tiberius could not have questioned Pilate, ordered his assassination/execution, or suicide. At that time, Caligula was not crazy, and was considered a good emperor his first year and would have followed roman custom.

@@larrys-qr6zr Judea wasn't a proper proconsular province, but like a sub-province of Syria. Egypt was governed by a prefect separately. Tacitus calls Pilate procurator, and in the Pilate inscription, he's titled prefect. He was likely a wealthy Equite who had never held a consulship.

Pilot would have done better had he heeded his wife's advice......

Absolutely, but some people seem to have this need to accuse Christians of hating the Jews.

Amen!

Very good understanding of His death.

Written by Christians and purported to be said by Jesus of the house of David, who actually was the rightful King of the Jews. How can one trust the word of those Christians ? they were building a new religion and put words into the mouth of Jesus that were never actually uttered. The reason that Jesus did not die on the cross has to do with both money and the political situation as it existed at that time. Read The Jesus Scroll by Donovan Joyce if you want to know the truth about Christianity. Or the Dead Sea Scrolls by John Allegro if you want to know about Christian beginnings.

@@delinquentinparadise How are you sure "they put into Jesus mouth words he never uttered." How do you know what he spoke ??

Nice fairytale. First of all, in the gospel of Mark, Jesus doesn't know what is happening. "Father, why have you forsaken me?"

@@bartbannister394 _First of all, in the gospel of Mark, Jesus doesn't know what is happening. "Father, why have you forsaken me?_ To the contrary, because he quotes Psalm 22---thus referring us to its message---we know that Jesus is _exactly_ aware of what's going on. His cry is not one of forlornness, but a conscious pointing to the fact of the imminent triumph of his mission on earth: the salvation of all, by the hand of God.

You're almost there. But he was never even caught, tortured or executed. Read some Quran translations and explanations. Jesus soul ascended peacefully and willfully. The Romans caught and tortured someone else.

Agree , the divine plan could not have been altered or changed by anyone, jesus knew the outcome, thats why he prayed before this event , he fulfilled the Lord’s plan , he gave his life for mankind, he who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life

This story makes no sense. As far as being slaves in Egypt, it never happened.

So, a strong Roman Prefect would have done nothing when Jesus's body was missing from a tomb guarded by Roman soldiers. I'm sure they were punished but the Bible does not say anything about Pilate's reaction to the missing body and the story of Jesus rising and walking around. Jesus still had the wounds of his torture and crucifixion according to the Bible yet only his followers ever saw him. Pilate would have investigated and rounded up the disciples of Jesus but he did nothing. That never made any sense to me considering he would be there for an additional 9 years.

I would consider you are closer to the mark. The core to answering this is WHY the crowd chose Barabas. To my thinking, it was a setup by the Sadducee that wanted the Zealot out of prison, and get rid of a troublemaker. They would have seen Yeshua raising someone from the dead as a Persian magician trick, and a direct challenge to their authority. Yeshua had thousands praising him as the King of the Jews, another direct threat. The SADDUCEE wanted the threat out of the way, and the likely deal is, "You get rid of that one, and we will have peace"

@@KENICUSONE Interesting. But I think Pilate was really only interested in his game of chess with the hight priest, and for him the crucifixion was a political decision. It was the move he made, sacrificing some harmless inconsequential pawn for His Great Strategic Purpose. He simply may have thought that the tale of the resurrection was not even worth his resources to go after. Even nine years later when he left, Christianity was only in embryonic form, not big enough to register on anyone's radar, and a man named Saul was executing them, (or perhaps he may have been on the road to Damascus!)

@@johnstebbins6262: I seem to agree. Sometimes we can view things in a 21st light as opposed to 1st century realities.

note the word "story"

Judas was another pawn ♟

I found it interesting how Pilate's wife had a dream/premonition to leave Christ alone

So a story written by the Jesus fan club tells us how impressed ever character In the story is about the authors favored character. Do you understand that this is called fan fiction?

@@TorianTammas seek Christ

Why would the Romans bother to write about a Jewish preacher? He was not important enough to write about until many years after his death, when a cult started growing--the cult of the personality of a dead man named Jesus, who supposedly rose from the dead.

@@magistrumartiumExactly my point.

The idea that pilate would allow a Jewish mob to dictate his decrees is laughable.

The Romans did follow a policy of reconciliation with their conquered provinces,I don't see what is laughable abt it

@@pmtoner9852 so did pilot here to.... If pilot had to show off like in this video then what if the Jews said leave him alone... If pilot wanted to do it for power then he didn't had to show off ... He knew that the Jews were willing to surrender anyways..

@@truefaceofmo8307 Actually, the Jewish leadership was very cluey as to making trouble with the Roman authorities. Annas, a Sadducee leader, was dependant on Roman support to keep his position as High Priest - and he had it. His stock in Rome was high so it behooved the governor to take any threat of a complaint to Caesar or the senate seriously - such as the threat of reporting that he was showing indulgence to someone who denied Caesar's authority. Herod also had been installed as administrator of Palestine by the Romans, who thought very highly of his father, Antipator's, performance as administrator before him. These were men who had significant influence at Rome and knew how to use it. Pilate was not "swayed by the mob" even supposing that there was a mob to attempt it - which is questionable*. He was wary of Sadducee leadership complaining to the roman government about him. *It should be borne in mind that Jesus was taken to Pilate at night in the hope that when day dawned he would already be on the cross at Golgotha which was a regular place of execution. The addition of another cross would not excite much attention. Delaywas occasioned by Pilate's tactic of referring the matter to Herod Antipas who, after wasting some time trying to derive some entertainment from Jesus, sent him (Jesus) back to Pilate who was consequently compelled to make a decision. The so-called crowd assembled early in the morning would have been the stooges assembled by Annas and Caiphas and their (Sadducee) party.

@@pmtoner9852: Well, as they said, the Jews made Pilate change his mind when they confronted him in Caesarea. They did the exact same thing when they confronted him about Jesus.

There's no statue of Pilate, only an inscription and some coins, as stated at 10:14. I don't want to rewatch the whole video to see the statue you're referring to, but it must be someone else, such as Augustus or Tiberius, the emperors during Christ's lifetime.

He invented the Pilates fitness workout for his troops, which is also amazing.
