When I read the report of Jesus Christ account by Pilate knowing he would give no less than an accurate and thorough accounting of what happened in that situation to the emperor at the time. I believe he believed Christ Jesus of what HE claimed to be. Somebody with influence shamed him. It is very possible this is why there is confusion about the rest of his history. My hope is he is saved by the blood he could not save. It was supposed to happen. And he (Pilate) realized at that moment Jesus Christ told him the only power you have is what my Father has given you. Pilate did his best to release him but it was ordained for the Son God to do the Father's will. And if Pilate became a believer in Christ he now understands why he couldn't free him with his power he thought he had. This makes perfect sense when reading all accounts and scriptures combined with who God is. I hope to see him saved and on the right side of the judgement seat when it is time for all of us. Amen Gentile or Jew.

Pilate declared Christ's innocence 3 times and Christ, Himself, told Pilate those that delivered Him are responsible. Christ even gave the Jews one last chance but they chose Barrabas yelling "Crucify Him, Crucify Him, Crucify Him" and "May His blood be on us and our children" and the blood still flows from generation to generation.

Pilate played his part. Jesus was crucified; the prophesy was fulfilled.

I love my king. My dad. My friend. As i learn more and more about him i fall more and more in love. I am angry that people rejected him. I am angry that i myself have rejected, denied, and mocked him. Yet...he still has grace and still shows me he is in my life and wants me to be closer to him. It makes me tear up. How great is my God. Thats my dad. Thats my king. Thats my saviour. How great is love that i can barelt grasp but a glimpse of the whole pie. Is love is Everlasting. His love is infinite and the most powerful

Pilate may have carried out the execution but it was a particular group of priests that insisted that the execution be carried in the first place…..

There is a Judgment day for all of us. Be not asleep, but ready when called. Jesus said He would come like a thief in the night. A clot, a heart attack a speeding car, God will get you where ever you are. No excuses. A horrifying price of suffering was paid for our souls. We should not dismiss the fact we have been paid for, we are not our own.

Pilate tried to turn Jesus loose...3 times he asked the jews and 3 times they said CRUSIFY HIM

Matthew 27:24 “When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye .”

I love Jesus

Jesus said he who delivered me unto you has the greater Sin!

"Hidden Politics of the Crucifixion" by Glenn Kimball shares letters from a London Museum written back and forth between Pilate and Herod lamenting their roles in Jesus's death, as Herod suffered with dropsy and had hoped to be healed by Jesus and Pilate because he saw Jesus post resurrection and was an instant believer. By these accounts, Pilate was ultimately held responsible for the death of the Christ and executed by the Roman government. Many other fascinating details in those letters, confirming the Biblical accounts of a great earthquake, darkness that covered the whole earth and the resurrection of many who had died.

Jesus was crucified for our sins and believing in him we may have life with him. If it was not the Jews who gave him up or the governor, it would have been some one else because he came for this purpose. We should stop pointing fingers and be thankful that it is accomplished/the work is done 🙏🏽 Praise the Lord ❤

I'm sure every historian has a love for revealing history and why things are, and would look down on efforts to obfuscate the past. What a shame that the very source and axis of our calendar is scrubbed because of someone's personal hatred of Jesus of Nazareth. AD and BC are crystal clear as to where we get our years from. CE and BCE??? why? Does Jesus upset atheist historians so much they can't even tolerate his existence in history being known.

I felt more Way more Pity for Pilate than Caiaphas and Ann-is!!!!! Because he was BULLIED or Forced into authorizing Christ’s Execution!!!!! Caiaphas and Ann-is, knew what they were doing and were protecting their Positions of Power in the Religious community!!!!! But Really, Our SINS put him on that Cross!!!!✝️✝️✝️

If I'm not mistaken, Pontius Pilate & his wife, regarded as Saints in Ethiopia church. Because he was in line with God's will that Jesus Christ must redeem our sins, and Pilate involved in such matters. Yes, Pilate sinned because he let innocent Jesus to die on the cross. However, he & his wife then reconciled with God.

Pilate said "I find no fault in him" and really didn't want to send him to execution.

As a politician Pontious was not bad. How can you hide the real culprits.

If the death of Christ was a necessary part of God's plan for the salvation of mankind, it makes absolutely no sense to condemn anyone who participated in it. If it's God's plan, did any of the actors have a real choice?

Pilot was a predetermined character in the crucifixion, because it will of God. He played no part in the end. The crucifixion was prophecy, and Pilot was just used to facilitate its prediction.

Whatever the narrative, Pilate had no choice because he had to fulfill the prophecy and purpose of salvation through Jesus.

I agree with you. Pilate had no power over Yeshua, and he saw the majesty in the King of Kings. Pilate was changed, Pilate was moved and Pilate was saved. I will see him in Heaven.. 🙏

Having watched the entire video, why am I left with an overwhelming sense of 'we don't know'?

I won’t worry about anybody else being saved, I’d worried about myself being saved. We love to see everybody else’s mistakes but don’t worry about our own mistakes.

We Cannot save anyone. Only Jesus Christ saves! The best we can do is to try to be a light to show others the way home..

❤I know CHRIST went through a living HELL for my sins, excruciating pain, but I'm grateful 🙏and ❤️ thankful that HE did. THANK YOU, JESUS!!!!!

💎🏆 Great insightful & fruitful video 🏆💎

Jesus said forgive them as they know not what they do! But most of his own people especially the leaders knew!!!!!

I like history, and all this videos transported me at that time. Thank you😊

"... I am innocent of the Blood of this just Person! You see to it!! "

My dad was an rcia teatcher in the early 90's. What he taught me was to always read between the lines. Pilot basically said that jesus was a loon. Pilot was juat going to flog jesus and let him go.

Divine retribution for an act that was divinely ordained would be odd.

It has been written . And shall be done...every one have a role to be done

Prophecy had to be fulfilled so we would be redeemed of our sins through baptism in Jesus name.

A very even-handed and scholarly approach. Thank you.

Pontius Pilate was already in Caesar’s doghouse when he was appointed governor (as a punishment) .

As a devout biblical Christian, I truly enjoyed your video. Insightful and interesting. I usually don’t subscribe to non Christian channels, but I’m quite interested in your work because I like history; and the Bible is historic. Just subscribed!

@history guy I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for posting this video. That is a lot more information about Pontus Pilot. Your right, the Bible account is short on details about Pontus Pilot. That makes him a more interesting person. Again thank you 😊

He let the crowd choose in order to help keep control of a traditionally unruly province.

Pilate bore responsibility that water couldn’t wash away. His wife’s dream was evidently of divine origin, even as were the earthquake, the unusual darkness, and the rendering of the curtain that took place on that day. Her dream should have warned Pilate that this was no ordinary trial, no ordinary defendant. The one delivering him to Pilate ‘bore the greater guilt.’ (John 19:10,11) The high priest who headed the Sanhedrin, was responsible before God for handing over God’s Son to this Gentile ruler for sentencing to death. (Matthew 26:63-66) Pilate’s guilt did not equal theirs; yet his act was extremely reprehensible!

Love it. Cleared that one up! And just in time for Easter!

Pilate did his duty. The fact that a man so dutiful was in that position, at that time for this had to be the hand of God. I thoroughly believe that Pilate was saved by Christ.

Why in the world is a historical documentary using photo backdrops from The Life of Brian”. Seeing Monty Python actors in these stills is…. confusing.

The Bible has incredible scientific accuracy like round Earth 🌎 and the hydrologic cycle and jet streams and much more.

Wonderful teaching

Pilate was really caught between a rock and hard place! He clearly believed that Jesus was a good man and did everything in his power to save him, but in the end was forced by the Jews to send Jesus to crucifixion. It is very sad. Jesus himself comforted Pilate saying it was not his fault, but the fault of the Jewish authorities that he would be sent to death. So Im sure Jesus forgave him and understood his position. Pilate, by his own account, suffered from great sadness and regret the day of the crucifixion and wrote a very detailed letter about it to Ceasar. He also wrote again later regarding the evidence of resurrection. Very fascinating.

How funny that you include a still from Monty Python's Life of Brian depicting Pontius Pilate as only Monty Python would.🙂

8 minutes in and I still haven't heard what happened to pilat

Thank you for sharing. It had to be so as foretold by God. 💞🌟🕊🌺💯

Jesus loves me.

This is scary, this entire video was made with AI, the voice, images and maybe the script.

God's "will" be done ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Great video

It's very important to know and understand scriptures before speaking on any subject matter bothering around God's word👇 "From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar’s friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.” John 19:12 NKJV "The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he [Pilate] was determined to let Him go." Acts 3:13 NKJV

What's the point of the sensational video title, about Pilate's "bitter ending" , - even though the video itself says historically correctly that neither ancient nor modern historians confirm the obvious hateful invention of the Christian bishop Eusebius about Pilate's suicide, who also did not name any verifiable sources. Yes I know, clickbaiting 😅

by far the best portrayal ever of Pontius Pilate was done by Rod Steiger

Read the book titled "the Dolorious Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Saint Anne Emmerich a Saint of the Catholic Church. In this book she recounts Holy Week beginning on Palm Sunday and clear through to the Resurrection. She was an Augustinian Nun who was visited by Jesus who told her that He would reveal to her prophetic visions and insights to which no other prophet from the past up to that moment, had not been shown what Our Lord would show her. She saw Jerusalem as it looked in Jesus time. She saw the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus exactly as it occurred. The part in there in the Chapter where she describes Pontius Pilate and how he responds to the Jewish leaders, to the crowds, and his talking to Jesus, it corresponds to all 4 versions of the Gospels. However this book goes even further and way beyond the 4 Gospels in much more detail that you should read it, it is absolutely astounding!!

Pilate, was fore warned about Jesus, not to get involved through his wife. But as a Roman, and one who was ambitious, took the case. After asking Jesus questions, he saw that Jesus was innocent of the charges against him by the High priest Ananias, the Pharisees, and the Saducees. The High priest and who was involved of those religious teachers of the law, were the supreme court for all Jews. They were the rich and powerful of their day. Pilate, gave in to pressure and fear. And without knowing it, he fulfilled Bible prophecy, that Jesus, would be put to death, the manner was not stated in the prophecy. Pilate's life took a turn for the worse. He did not escape his decisions, or curcumstances. Pilate, was used by the vivious cruel religious leaders in Jerusalem. It was the religious body who clammered to put Jesus to death. Not all the Jews in the city or outside the city. The few in the crowd were paid by the two religious groups, to yell out to have Jesus, impaled. 37 yrs later, those wickedand false priests were put to death by their own people when the Romans returned in 70 A.D. The Romans, just as Jesus foretold to his disciples and those priests, that the Temple would be destroyed and no stone would be standing at its destruction. Among those priests who condemn Jesus, and put him into Pilate's hands bear a greater sin than the Romans. When Jesus cried out on the stake he was implaed on "Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing" wasn't for the Jews and those who clammered for his death, but for the Romans, including Pilate. The Jews knew he was the prophesied messiah. Those evil priests knew too. So in 70 A.D., when the Romans came back, they entered into a starving city, destroyed the Temple, took what was left inside it, set it on fire, killed the priest's (those who hadn't died before destruction of temple), and captured over a million Jews and took them to Roman mines scattered throughout their empire, and those left over marched through the streets of Rome, the parade of victory. The arch of Titus, is still standing in Rome, in the forum to this very day. Proof of the temples destruction as per the prophecy uttered by the innocent man Jesus Christ!

4:19 The historical backgwound of Bigus Dickus is also little-known.

You missed a most important point. At the time of Jesus' "trial", the Denarius coin contained the phrase "Divi Filio" meaning "Son of the Divine". It is only after one of Jesus' accusers said Jesus claimed to be the Son of God (Divi Filio) that the narrative says " and then, Pilate became afraid". He could not free Jesus and have that accusation of Jesus claiming to be equal to the emperor get back to Rome.

Very good information. Fist time I hear about Pilate's suiside.

Didn't Pontius Pilate wash his hands after talking with Jesus, saying that he found no fault with him, and didn't want to play any part of the crucification, but according to the law, he had no right to make that decision as id didn't relate to the Roman occupation, but was an internal matter among the Jews.

Pilates wife is known as Saint Claudia Procula in the Orthodox Church. Pilate’s fate is unclear but I think he is partially innocent because Barabbas, literally means son of the father (representing the world) in Hebrew Bar-Abba and Yeshua means savior in Hebrew. The Pharisees knew exactly what their names meant and chose the son of the world over the Son of God.

Don't worry; I subscribed as soon as I saw you using the term *AD* instead of *CE!*

really cool intro!

Did you seriously use a screenshot from the film “Life of Brian”?

Pilate has had two thousand years to reflect on his mom's marriage counsel: listen to your wife.

Earned a subscriber.

makes me want to know more about Herod and his role in the torture and crucifixion of Jesus the Christ

As new technology is developed, it may be possible to read the papyrii that have been found in Pompeii and Herculaneam. And to answer some of those questions.

GOD bless ... and i love the life of brian clips you put in there 😂😂.. rwease bwrian lol

Okay, if you're going to show Michael Palin in Monty Python's Life of Brian as Pontius Pilot, I'm going to have to quote him! "Vewy well! I shall... welease... Bwian!" 😂🤣

Well done.

Pilate's body was taken north and dumped in the alps. I was told that by a tour guide around Lucerne, Switzerland. I have no idea if it's true but I think the locals believe it.

Jesus didn't want to be released. He told his disciples he would be executed. If pilate let him go it would have made Jesus a liar.

can't have people who hate Christ in charge anymore.

His name in Latin was Pontius Pilatus, Prefect of Judea

There is a Swiss belief that their Mount Pilatus was named after him, because he retired there, but that may well be no more than an exercise in wishful thinking.

"For God so love the World, He giveth His only begotten Son for whosoever believeth in Him shall not die but have everlasting life! British School, morning Prayer!

Acts 4:27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

Pilate was not an ambitious man. It was probably most certain he did not die in some civil war to do a coup d'etat against the Emperor. Some other Roman governors were far more ambitious and capable.😂

Our Lord Jesus Christ said,” forgive them Father for they know not what they do “.

Strange that Pilot wanted to release people but the very people of Jesus pushed it to happen. Because the truth is that the death of Jesus Christ was a plan that existed before any of us did, before earth and time did. The Father already knew what he would have done. And the coming of and crucifiction of Jesus Christ was Divine Prophecy and HAD to be fulfilled. So even if Pilate, and everyone in roman authority absolved Jesus and wanted to release him, it would have still happened SOMEHOW.

Pilates task was to keep the rambunctious Jews calm over Pessach, when thousands of Jews came to Jerusalem. and then he heard of that one notorious Jewish troublemaker who he feared would incite a rebellion. of course he had to set an example! tactically smart as he was he also let Herodes Antipas have a word, thus showing respect for the Jewish nomenclatura while being sure that Herodes would agree with his verdict due to the pressure he must have felt from the Jewish priests who Jesus had attacked several times before.

The best fictional depiction of the agony of Pilate is in Bulgkavo’s ‘The Master and Marguerite’. It is in reading that I understood that Pilate despised having to govern Judea and hated Tiberius for forcing him there.

Is that Monty Python's Biggus Diccus at 4:18 ?

why you have to use BCE OR CE? Did someone change the Gregoria calendar?

No one took Jesus’ life (except humanity). He laid it down willingly.

But if we put ourselves in the place of the governor. Judea was a most troublesome providence compared to the others and had Pilot released Jesus there may have been the spark for a full scale riot. So he clearly was not going to spark a riot as any major disorder would have probably meant his removal for failure to control the province and the cost of needing to reinforce the army to crush the unrest. He was a harsh governor and that is why he was appointed to the region. king Herod the puppet king for Rome is vilified in the scriptures but is also called Herod the Great . The scriptures in my humble opinion are a teaching document but won’t often give a full historical account

One of the main threads in the incredible novel "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov is a fictionalized account of Pilate's decision. Highly recommended.

Excellent ❤

I prefer to be in front of the Judgement Seat, not the White Throne of Judgement… 🙏✝️❤️

Can you imagine what would have happened if Pilate had released Jesus!

he had no choice. he tried passing him off to herod and he couldn't get to him the same old "i'm not roman enough but just a judean kind of way"...so he sent him back for romans to deal with him like an outsider insurrectionist and he took several polls to see if that's all they wanted and did it. poor guy. i think he was just and impartial and he liked his wife's words of advice.

Had Pilate been quicker on his mental feet, he could have easily deflected the guilt back on to the Jewish leaders and crowd below, telling them that according to their own Judaic law and traditions, it was unlawful to bear false witness against an innocent man and thus murder to execute an innocent man. Something to that effect. Therefore Pilate would force the crowd and Jewish leaders to take pause and reconsider their actions. Jesus Himself did just that in front of the accused woman that a mob wanted to stone to death for adultery. Jesus picked up a stone and held it outstretched, proclaiming, "Let he who is without sin be the first to throw this stone." The mob hesitated. No one was going to claim he was sinless as surely there would be others in the mob who knew him to be full of sins. Slowly, members of the mob began quietly drifting away until only Jesus and the woman were present. Unfortunately, Pilate did not have the grace, wisdom, and foresight of Jesus. Pilate was after all, a technocrat, a Roman political apparatchik, whose main job was to keep order in troublesome Judea and keep the tax monies flowing back to Rome.

I really dont get how saying merry Christmas became a insult worthy of offence. I miss what it ment in the 80s. Cheer,love,peace. It wasnt what it is now. Hollow,depressing and completely void of any spirit.

"these details lack firm historical confirmation". Nuff said.

Jesus Christ is the Lord and Saviour, the wat, the truth and the life. He is the only way to God.

It has after all be done according to thy will; threre is no mistake.

So basically there is no independent sourcing on any other part of Pilate's life or death before or after his tenure in Judaea other than second hand reports from people trying to make a point - which would indicate an ordinary, unremarkable official literally "nothing to write home about" except when he got complaints for mishandling his job.

Any appointment out of stinking Judea was promotion or better location. Being assigned Judea was a beginner's job or demotion.
