From this day until your last, Jesus Christ is the absolute most important figure in your life, whether you believe it or not.The books write about Him and history bears witness to His acts. You cannot escape Him. The most popular book in the world is all about Him and more importantly is that His word is etched into your heart. Your being bears witness to His existence that we have a Creator. Trust in Him while you still have time. Unlike God, your worldly existence is finite. There is salvation in NO other name and the gift is free, it has been paid for.

Pilate was a hard man, "cruel, coldhearted, and rigid: a proudly imperious Roman with little regard for the sensitivities of subject peoples." 'The gospels present Pilate as a righteous yet weak-willed man so overcome with doubt about putting Jesus of Nazareth to death that he does everything in his power to save His life, finally washing his hands of the entire episode when the Jews demand his blood. That is pure fiction. What Pilate was best known for was his extreme depravity, his total disregard for Jewish law and tradition, and his barely concealed aversion to the Jewish nation as a whole" "...he so eagerly, and without trial, sent thousands upon thousands of Jews to the cross that the people of Jerusalem felt obliged to lodge a formal complaint with the Roman Emperor."-Reza Aslan, from his book "Zealot, the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth. No way was Pilate swayed by a mob of angry Jews to try and talk them out of crucifying Jesus.

Iesous Himself calls them Judeans, never does he call them Israelite, and ALWAYS refers to them third person, never including Himself, even when speak to and in front of them, including the most senior among them. Proof positive. Read it in Greek as it was written and you will see the hidden Waldo for yourself.

I once had a cassette tape of a BIOLA hour sermon entitled “I find no fault in Him!”. An amazing dissection of how Pilate was obligated to uphold the Roman standards of law, which makes modern standards look comical by comparison. Pilate declared that Jesus was guilty of nothing, and coming from a Prefect that meant a lot. And yet the Jews goaded him to order the execution of Jesus. The gospels also note that Pilate’s wife was haunted by a dream of Jesus who was an innocent holy man filling her with a sense of foreboding. Thus she tried to encourage Pilate to release him. This is all relevant because Rome at the time exercised the highest standards of secular law. It’s amazing how God gave us multiple angles of the details of Jesus' situation to show us the truth.

this is a good channel on archeology as context to biblical understanding. it seems that it is becoming well understood that from what we can deduce from the biblical narrative and archeoastronomy that Jesus was born on sep. 11, 3BC, rosh Hashanah. do you have information to determine if Yom Kippur fell 8 days from rosh Hashanah, 1st of Tishri. normally, Yom Kippur is the 10th of Tishri according to the Jewish calendar. but if we can show that Yom Kippur according to the essene calendar occurred on the 8th day from the jewish 1st of Tishri, then we can say with a high degree of confidence that Jesus was indeed born on 1 Tishri 3BC. the thesis is: Jesus was born on 1 Tishri 3BC on the jewish calendar and he was circumcised on 8 Tishri 3BC (which coincided with Yom Kippur according to the essene calendar)

Pilate himself proclaimed him innocent. That's a quorum of two witnesses. Then Pilate called him "king", not once, but twice: first before the Jews, secondly in writing, which he refused to recant. Was Pilates confession a mockery or a challenge? No one who follows Pilates whole interview with Christ can be too quick with an answer. I know the one I'm hoping for, both for him and his wife.

Pilate was a Scion of the. Etruscan Ponti family . The family were barely hanging on to the fringes of Roman aristocracy and would have taken any overseas position . Sejanus secured this position for Pontius, who while he was on favour with the Emperor probably secured several people positions. Scholars often debate about the meaning of the title Pilate means. What is true is that it was probably an equerry title which was a legacy from the Etruscan period. The Ponti family had supported Roman empire at the end of the Etruscan era, receiving some honours from Rome for this. However by the 1st Century the value of their support was nearly forgotten history, and patronage from Sejanus (probably purchased) was about all the family had left. Scripture does reveal that Pontius was educated in the way young Noble men were. The position he held in the Holy land had a lot more to do with transit control and law and order and he developed a reputation for cruelty in enforcing law and order. Pontius was not a Governor and was subordinate to the Governor of Syria., but the position of Governor was vacant for nearly the entire decade when he was there. This meant that he was particularly worried about reports and complaints going directly to Rome. His desire to keep law and order reflects his concern about reports reaching Rome. Eventually his cruelty became even too much for Rome and he was sent back in disgrace from after 10 years in a post which most nobles would have been able to get out of after 3 years as they ascende the Cursus Honorum career . Scripture captures a lot of this in a "Show and tell " manner while not neglecting the essential message about our Lord and Saviour. It is not exactly clear what happened to Pontius after he was recalled to Rome. It does appear however that although he was dismissed and sent back in disgrace he may not have been tried by the Emperor. I have come across a version placing him in Lyon France some time later in some minor official role. Hopefully this may help people to see more when reading scripture. It is always worth re- reading scripture as we always see more each time. God bless all of you.

I have heard a theory that perhaps Pilate was a captive brought to Rome hostage as a child. That he may have been the child of some high status family in northern Europe. These were raised by Roman families and trained for administrative duties in the empire. This practice was done to cement victories and reduce risk of rebellion. In this case, he knew he could easily be wiped out by Rome as well as his relations in his home territory. Interesting theory.

"The trial before the Sanhedrin violates nearly every requirement laid down by Jewish law for a legal proceeding. The Mishnah is adamant on this subject. The Sanhedrin is not allowed to meet at night. It is not permitted to meet during Passover. It is not permitted to meet on the eve of the Sabbath. It is certainly not permitted to meet so casually in the courtyard of the High Priest, as Matthew and Mark claim. And it must begin with a detailed list of why the accused is innocent before any witnesses are allowed to come forth."-Reza Aslan, in his book "Zealot, the Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. If the high priest actually questioned Jesus about being the messiah, and his answer was seen as blasphemy, then "The one who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death: The congregation shall STONE HIM TO DEATH." (Leviticus 24:16, emphasis mine). Did your pastor include the above information? I seriously doubt it.

There's some interesting circumstantial evidence surrounding Pilate as well. He was appointed during the time that Sejanus (head of the Praetorian Guard) was running the Empire on Tiberius' behalf while the emperor was on an extended sabbatical (for lack of a better term). It is quite likely that Pilate was one of Sejanus' supporters and got the post because of it. By the time of Jesus trial, Tiberius had deposed Sejanus and started a witch hunt for traitors. Pilate seems to have survived the initial purge but he was likely still on shaky ground. The cries of the Jewish leaders that "if you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar" were not just idle words. They were threats to write to an emperor who was known to be paranoid accusing Pilate of disloyalty. The Biblical account relates that Pilate capitulated to their demands right after this. There is no incontrovertible archaeological evidence of any of this but as far as circumstantial evidence, it seems pretty compelling to me. (As you yourself related, Pilate had no qualms crushing the Jewish population by force if need be. What was different this time?)

I have always thought Pilate has been given a raw deal. When Pilate was sent to Rome he was ordered not to aggravate the Jews. The Jewish people were very difficult for Rome. It was required that all temples in the Roman empire have a bust of Augustus as a god. The exception was the Jews. He was told by the ruling class of the Jews that if he did not execute Jesus they would revolt.

In regards to Pilate and Rome we need to consider the environment at the time the Gospels were written. During this period between 65 and 95 AD the Christian community was doing everything they could to convince the Roman authorities that this new movement was not a threat or in opposition to Rome. They wanted to portray the death of Jesus as an act of the Jewish authorities not Rome. We know today that even though there were many bumps in this road in the end Rome itself eventually accepted Christianity as the "official" faith of the Empire!

One of the interesting things for me about the gospels in relation to Pilate is that they were written on the cusp of the first and second century. It’s interesting because this is a time when Christians are being persecuted by the Romans…yet Pilate, who in most respects exemplifies Roman ideals, is not vilified by the gospels. One would think that the historical context of the gospels would certainly influence the gospel writers to condemn him. Instead the gospels turn to Jesus’ own people to ascribe blame. It’s perplexing but it fulfills the prophesy in Isaiah.

Correction: Pilate did not command any legions. No legions were assigned to the province of Judaea. The closest legions were in Syria, a Senatorial province. Any troops under Pilate's command would have been non-citizen auxiliaries, organized into infantry cohorts and cavalry alae. There certainly were legionaries on Pilate's personal staff, and centurions in particular were frequently detached from their legions to use as local administrators.

Pilate did not see Jesus as a threat to Rome. It is clear that he was not impressed with Jesus in the sense of being a danger to public order or to Rome. Pilate saw through the Pharisees' claims about Jesus being opposed to Caesar and in fact he had acknowledged Caesar as being a legitimate ruler when confronted on the issue of paying taxes to Rome by the Pharisees (although this was unknown to Pilate as far as we know). Jesus did affirm both Pilate and Rome's authority in John 19:11 Pilate realized that this was an internal dispute within the Jews (John 18:31) and was motivated by jealousy. Pilate explicitly found Jesus innocent of any charges ( Luke 23:13 &14, John 18:38). Pilate then mocked the Pharisees' charge against Jesus by having a sign placed on the Cross designating him, ironically, as "King of the Jews." (John 19:19).
@johntiggleman4686
Жыл бұрын
Who did see him as a threat? Pilate was a prefect (governor) of Jerusalem, sent by Rome to try and quell the zealous Jews who were under Roman rule. And Jesus was a troublemaker. His claim of being "King Of The Jews" was seen as sedition and an attack on Roman rule of Jerusalem. Someone then ratted Jesus out to Pilate. The punishment for sedition was crucifixion. Which is what Pilate did. There was no trial before Pilate, except when he asked Jesus if he was King of The Jews. (which again, was seen as sedition). The titulus with the words "King Of The Jews" indicated what Jesus crime was, as did all the other titulii over the other guilty (there were more than three crucified that day). The two that were crucified with Jesus were "lestai," meaning bandits, although not in the definition we know today). They were probably accused of sedition. Luke changed the word "lestai" to "kakagouri" because he didn't like the zealousness of the word bandit. The Pharisees said Jesus had blasphemed, by saying he was God. They saw Jesus as a threat to the sacrificial blood and flesh rites, and the to the primacy of the Temple. By the way, blasphemy was, by Levitical Law, punishable by STONING, not crucifixion. There are so many things wrong with the whole story, as to make it questionable. Pilate was no weak-willed man. He had sent thousands upon thousands of Jews to be crucified. Oh, and there is no other proof outside of the Gospels for the releasing of a prisoner at Passover by any Roman governor. Josephus Flavius would certainly have written about it, since he was quite a historian.

@@johntiggleman4686 Everything you say is fiction. Pilate did not find Jesus to be a threat to Rome and pronounced him innocent repeatedly. Apparently, Jesus did not cut an impressive figure at first glance with many. This is one reason that the religious establishment could not see him as the Messiah. He had to be identified by Judas with a kiss because he was so average looking. Pilate was puzzled and frustrated by Jesus, but he apparently did not see Jesus as a potential leader of a rebellion against Rome. That was not Jesus' mission in any case. The charge against Jesus placed on the Cross was a joke on the Pharisees. How many times did Pilate have to find Jesus innocent to get that through to you or anyone else? While Pilate was not "weak willed," he was a Roman Prefect and had a concern with justice. He was also a professional political operator who was interested in advancement. Pilate's mentor was Sejanus who was a master political maneuverer. Both had a concern about what we call "optics." Pilate was not afraid of the Pharisees in the sense that they could directly harm him. He was afraid that they could cause him political headaches with Rome and sought to avoid an open conflict with the Pharisees.

Pilot was appointed by Sejanus. When Sejanus was found out by Tiberius he was killed and a purge began targeting all those connected to him- which could have potentially included Pilot. Tiberius policy towards the Jews changed to tolerance and favor - so when the Jews kept saying to Pilot that if he didn’t crucify Jesus that he was no friend of Caesars he relented Even though he found no fault in him.

His wife might have had an influence therefore about why Pilate wanted to free Jesus.

Rome absolutely saw Jesus as a threat. He was claiming to be King Of The Jews, which was treason and sedition, which bore the penalty of crucifixion. Before Jesus, there were many "messiahs," mostly self-appointed. And they met a similar fate: some were crucified, some were beheaded, and their followers either killed or scattered. But Pilate (not "Pilot") was a "hard ass" man, who loathed the Jews. No way was he weak, or allowed his wife to interfere with his job. He did NOT have any doubts about sending Jesus to the cross. It's doubtful there was any kind of "trial" with Pilate either. He certainly asked Jesus if he was the "King of the Jews" (which was the crime marked on the titulus above Jesus head on the cross), and Jesus answered in the affirmative. That was it. Pilate made a mark with his reed pen on a piece of Papyrus that sent Jesus to his death.
