 | | Pilate himself is a saint in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. | | | Pilate is famous primarily as a crucial character in the New Testament account of Jesus; but most of the information about him comes from the accounts of the 1st century Jewish historiographer Josephus (for more detail, see the entry Josephus on Jesus). | | | Pilate's main question to Jesus was whether he considered himself to be the "King of the Jews". |

| | Pilate was canonised by the Coptic and Ethiopic churches. | | | The trial of Jesus of Nazareth before Pontius Pilate is described in all four gospels (Mt 27.1-26, Mk 15.1-15, Lk 23.1-25 and Jn 18.28-19.16a). | | | It is often assumed that Pilate is a ``weak'' character in the gospels in contrast to the ``harsh'' prefect of the Jewish sources. |

| | Pontius Pilate biography |
| | Pilate's term of service in Palestine was from 26 to 36 A.D., extending from the appearance of John the Baptist, through the ministry of Jesus, and the early years of the Church. | | | Pilate's place in history is chiefly in connection with the trial and death of Jesus Christ. | | | As to Pilate's character and further career there is considerable material to be found in the apocryphal Acts of Pilate (fourth or fifth century) and the Gospel of Peter (second century). |

| | Father Raymond J. de Souza on Pontius Pilate & The Passion on National Review Online |
| | The Pilate of the gospels — and Gibson's Pilate — is not a bloodthirsty tyrant. | | | And Pilate clearly has the power to release Jesus or to crucify Him, as he himself tells Jesus. | | | All this in the space of four or five hours, for the Sanhedrin brought Jesus to Pilate in the early morning (perhaps as early as 6 A.M.) and Jesus was already crucified by noon. |

| | Pontius Pilate and Jesus |
| | A major socio-political development during the reign of Tiberius and Sejanus was the Judean governorship of Pontius Pilate, and the emergence of Jesus Christ and the Christian religion that followed. | | | Sejanus' involvement is important to Pilate's behavior in the discussion of the Jesus mystery because it helps to corroborate at least some parts of the gospels, and other historical evidence. | | | Though the facts of the historical Jesus and the life of Pilate are debatable, it is quite clear that had Jesus lived, he would've faced crucifixion after the fall of Sejanus. |

| | Pilate now withdrew with Jesus into the palace (John 18:33) and examined him in private (37-38); and then going out to the deputation still standing before the gate, he declared that he could find no fault in Jesus (Luke 23:4). | | | Pilate now proposed that as he and Herod had found no fault in him, they should release Jesus; and anticipating that they would consent to this proposal, he ascended the judgment-seat as if ready to ratify the decision (Matt. | | | Pilate heard this accusation with a superstitious awe, and taking him once more within the Praetorium, asked him, "Whence art thou?" Jesus gave him no answer. |

| | His use of a pagan religion symbol on Judean coinage is another of Pilate's acts that demonstrates his deliberate disregard for Jewish religious scruples. | | | This stands in sharp contrast to the impression conveyed in the Christian gospels which, for apologetic reasons, portray him as reluctant to execute Jesus. | | | At the center is a lituus, a curved crook used by Roman augurs. |

| | Pilate was Governor of Judaea from 26 to 36 AD showing that Jesus was depicted as a real person who taught and died at a definite time. | | | The tenor of the prisoner’s teachings had been that he was heralding a “kingdom”, in the gospels, a spiritual one. | | | Pilate’s wife could have been Jewish and she could have advised him on religious matters, but he must have had official religious advisers. |

| | Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read, "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." Many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek. | | | And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so." And the chief priests accused him of many things. | | | Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him." So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. |

| | She is a Christian, and seeks to point to what she regards as the divine purpose that gave Pilate’s life its ultimate meaning – and that in doing so gave a new meaning, in her belief, to all human lives. | | | And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. | | | For the uncomfortable – and, by Wroe, underacknowledged – fact is that virtually everything written about Pilate in the Bible is deeply suspect, owing to the gospel writers’ desire to deaccentuate the culpability of the Romans in the Crucifixion, transfer as much guilt as possible to “the Jews,” and thus win gentile converts. |
