I don't recall hearing from this the MOST IMPORTANT thing about Pilate 🤔 and his role and how God used him for His purpose. Pilate literally declared that he found NO FAULT in Jesus three times!!! Jesus was the spotless lamb being prepared for the offering. And just like in the multitude of ceremonies where a lamb must be deemed spotless that is exactly what Pilate did with Jesus because there was no way the Jewish leaders were going to do it. That was necessary and God used Pilate to do that very thing. It was proclaimed to ALL that Jesus was the spotless Lamb of God! 🙌🙌🙌 I find that so amazing! And even with all that pressure he faced from the Jews and the crowd he still proclaimed over and over and over that there was No Fault found in Jesus!!! AMEN to that!!!

Jesus to pilot: You would have no power over me, if it were not given from above.

Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

It was the Jewish leaders and the Pharisees that condemned Jesus to death and as Jesus was dying on the cross, he cried out to the Father to forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Christ Jesus is Lord❤

Pilate had the authority to release Jesus Christ, but instead, he gave into the Jewish religious leaders' evil pressure to crucify him.

When I think about the crucifixion of our savior, It makes my heart sad , but on the other hand I am proud of the courage Jesus showed facing his suffering. HE DIED LIKE A MAN !

It wasn't just a crucifixion, it was an assassination, of the greatest man that ever lived

Pilate could not have made any other decision than the one he made. It was God's will.

Pilot did what God planned him to do. Jesus could not have given us life without his sacrifice.

He would go down in history as the man who refused to condemn innocent blood in the face the greatest compulsion to do so. What a difference that would make for him today. Maybe the greatest example of integrity to the world.

I appreciate your work, however here is a correction: Pilate did not bribe the guards, that was what the Pharisees did. They told the guards, "Tell the people his disciples came by night and stole his body away." This dereliction of duty, to sleep during the night watch, would be punishable by death. So they told the guards, "If this comes before the governor's ears, we will persuade him and secure you (keep you from harm)." I have a book called the Archko Volume. It is simply AMAZING. It is a reprint of a book published in the mid-1800's, which contains first century accounts -eye witness accounts of Jesus life and reports the Pharisees and Sanhedrin had recorded about Jesus' birth, ministry and death. I've been saved since I was 14 (I am now 71) and these accounts have the ring of truth to them. I am not Catholic, but got saved during the Jesus People Revolution of the 60's and have been walking with the Lord as best as I could in these 57 years. I have been very blessed with the Archko Volume. It does not contradict scripture, but fills in significant gaps. Hallelujah, God is so good to give us a bit fuller picture of the events of the life of Jesus.

and yet, had Pontius Pilate allowed Jesus to live, we would not know Christianity and Salvation of the sufferings, death and resurrection of the greatest and kindest human being in history. I thank HIM sincerely for his existence and the Holy Spirit in Trinity.

Pilate didn't take Jesus life Jesus layed his life down for us. Pilate was a coward he didn't stand up for the truth.

"Moral courage is a rarely commodity than bravery in battle"

In the Bible, Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God in John 1:29 and John 1:36, where John the Baptist says, "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". This title is one of seven names for Jesus used by John and is also the first of seven "witnesses" in the gospel of John who declare Jesus to be the Christ, the Messiah, and the Son of God. Jesus Christ is also known as the Lamb of God. The Savior's Atonement fulfilled the law of Moses and ended the sacrifice of the Passover lamb. There would be no Christian Religion, if these individuals did not participate. Number One, Judas turned Jesus over to the Jewish High Priest, Number Two, PONTIUS PILATES Condemns Jesus to death by being crucified. In the New Testament, Acts 5:30, 10:39, and 13:29 refer to Jesus' crucifixion as "hanging on a tree". This phrase is a reference to Deuteronomy 21:22-23, which describes how to display an Israelite who has been convicted of a capital crime. Number Three, The death of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus. (1). According to John 19:30 in the Bible, Jesus said, "It is finished" before he died on the cross and bowed his head: (2). Jesus said he must be raised on the third day (Mark 8:31). But this third-day deliverance was not just prophesied by Jesus; it was patterned in the Old Testament. If readers knew this Old Testament pattern and then learned that Jesus was raised on the third day, they shouldn't be surprised at all. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. These things had to occur, certain people had to participate in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, The Only Begotten Son of God Almighty. Amen. We now wait in peace for the judgement day. Come quickly my, "Holy Lord God Jesus Christ" Please Have Mercy on our Souls. Amen. "In The Name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit." Amen.🎚

Pilate had no power to alter the prophecy. Even Jesus himself knew what was going to happen before encountering with Pilate.

I need help. I may not be in a situation like Pilot but once I started listening to this video I realized I need help. I grew up in a Christian home but the bible was nevert really read in my church, I would only see My mother reading the bible. Once I could make my own decisions I changed church joining the methodist church in South Africa but I've yet to become a fully pledged member. I've always had this thing holding me back. I would often visit my old church mainly receiving pressure from my family whom most of them.are still in my old church. But everytime I would visit I would feel nothing spiritually . Recently I've had dreams about people who' have since passed this life that used to belong in my old church. The priest that I share my dreams.with has failed to interpret what these dreams mean. I love my Lord my savior Jesus Christ I read the bible just as I've seen mother from early age. I even watch you tube's videos which help me understand the bible more which isn't what my old church used to teach us when I was growing up. I see my self with internal struggles pertaining to my religious life.

There have always been many Pilates in history before this one and even now today. Unfortunately, there is a Pilate in each of us. We ourselves sometimes face untenable moments to face decisions we do not feel equipped to confront in our own lives.

For this cause I Came in to this World,,, In the Day of Judgement it blows my mind, heart, spirit and soul,,, To sit on the side line and see the Judgement Of Adam,, Jesus,, The Holy Spirit And The Father . Lord, what have we done and what are we about to do

SHALOM 🙏🙏 The Will Of The Most High Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven Thanks 🙏🙏👍👍 Jesus Christ For Your Supreme Sacrifice SHALOM

That's false... Pilate saw no fault in the messiah. So he washed his hands on the matter, and the messiah own people said the only king they have is Caesar and let the blood be on them and their children. They were just blood thirsty for righteous blood. He most likely dead due to his belief and not willing to kill the messiah. This is why people are deceived. Lack of knowledge coming from your own studying.

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE EARTH QUAKE DURING THE TEARING OF THE VEIL.

It was The Almighty God's plan🙏🏾

Truth must prevail no matter what personal consenquences will happen.Our decision must be based on truth and integrity.Pilate knew that Our Lord Jesus Christ is innocent even his wife told him about her dream but still he didn’t stand up for the truth .😢😢😢

Thank you Lord for making me watching this video Amen

In over a decade of youtubing, thus comments section is the most bearable ever. Well done humanity....I thought all hope was gone

In antiquity, thousands upon thousands of people were crucified, which at the time was considered to be one of the most brutal and shameful ways to die. In Rome, the crucifixion process was a long one, entailing scourging (more on that later) before the victim was nailed and hung from the cross.

The price is yet to be paid, for the crucifixtion of jesus christ, You feel it, you sense the coming, it's time is upon the world

His hands were tied and unfortunately regressed from something above his pay grade, understanding and ultimate jurisdiction. Dang sir.

Jesus laid His own life down, he was and is The Lamb of God. He had to shed His blood to conquer sin for us.❤

I really appreciate your great effort, and I believe God will help you , to open many people spiritual eyes before Jesus Christ return to take the church..

That man said he wanted nothing to do with that. Said he washed his hands. The people responsible for it are paying dearly. You hung them by trees, took them into slavery by ships & still oppressing them to this day. Baruch 4:6 “Ye were sold to the nations, not for your destruction: but because ye moved God to wrath, ye were delivered unto the enemies. Who was sold to the nations?

Thanks for posting this video

Pilate wimped out politically like so many do today. He would not stand up for what he knew to be right. His end was miserable because he was gutless.

Pilate did NOT crucify Jesus. In fact he said "I can find no fault in this man. I wash my hands of this matter."

The terrible scourging--by his stripes we are healed--the result of failing to appease a vengeful mob that still demanded a crucifixion--the crown of thorns that became symbolic about triumphing over the rule of sin and death--the result of the trial being moved to Herod's jurisdiction and the abusive treatment by his soldiers. Then the washing of hands of the entire affair getting that entire vengeful mob to cry out let his blood be upon them and upon all of their children for generations without end. That had absolved Pilot and his kind of all guilt. Among the first converts to Christianity had been a Roman Centurion and all his invited guests gather together to hear Peter. There was no veil over their eyes.

Pilate wanted no part in his case but was pressured to have him killed. I think he knew who Jesus was and didn't want to walk on that landmine.

Thank you so much for such truth in the video, hope people can reach out to this truths.

I read countless time the Book. I conclude Pilate was an honorable man of his days. He exercised equity and justice and he never condemned Jesus he only announced sentence on account of the persecution of the Jews. Infact he washes his hands from lambs slaughter.

God Bless you too. Pilate was at the height of his power but as the video suggests he didn't want to rock the boat with Jedea and Rome. It was both esy and difficult for him. What he avoided being challenged by Rome. Turned into a reality for him. Judea must have had other unreal requests which lead to his demise. In hindsight, easy to see. But I wonder if he knew that the unrest would continue after Jesus. He should have done the right thing at the start. It's hs hard but rewarding to do the just thing by our Lord Jesus Christ. I still feel for Jesus Christ Two and a bit millennia away but I live and learn like the rest of us. Thank you ❤🌹

we can do nothing in our strength, pilate was an antagonist at the time and was under spiritual powers beyond his control allowed by the Almighty.

CLAUDIA LEFT PILATE, CONVERTED, PRAYED FOR HIM. PILATE ALSO CONVERTED BEFORE DYING ✅

Only watched one minute. Pilate left it up to the masses, he even gave them a choice. They chose poorly. He simply did what they wanted

Pilate as a leader, could have stop the death of the Messiah. That's why he washed his hands. But he's also responsible as much as the scribes, rabbis, and jews that beg for his death and not his recognition as the Messiah.

🔥 MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD 🩸 OF JESUS CHRIST, SAVE US AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎

I read a document which was apparently a letter written by Pilate on his journey home to face the music with Tiberius to his wife Claudia, who was already in Rome. Tiberius had died while he was on that journey and when he got home he was exonerated and went on to live with Claudia in France - so the story goes. Either way he was an interesting character in the events of the Crucifixion. In Acta Pilate (Letter of Pilate to Caesar about Jesus, His Crucifixion & Resurrection), he had requested a meeting with Jesus before the Crucifixion. He said when he met him he was frozen with fear and swore to protect him and his right to speak, but Jesus said that this was out of his control. A great insight into Pilate...

Thank you for educational video, GOD BLESS YOU AS WELL

Jesus Christ was innocent I was guilty. Jesus Christ went to Calvary to die in a cross to pay for the sin I have committed. I am eternally grateful to men like Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot because without them my sin would not have been paid for and all my hope would be gone.

Pilates destiny was from God, I believe he did accept Christ.. I think deep down he knew Christ was innocent but his hands were tied when the crowd chose to free Bar Abbas. The Sanhedrin were the guilty as they weren't accept Jesus as their Messiah even though the prophecies had been completed.

And the Greatest of All Stories Ever Told still evolves and even revolves anew. how happy or angry does that make judeans who have no stomach for it

At the present and modern time there’s so many politicians like Pilots because of greed and power I don’t see any remorse on those wicked ones who continue to destroy the innocent people, the world and our country

Thank you for this Video.. Blessings to you &yours, you reading as well All Praise Honor Glory to TMH GOD👑of👑s YESHUAtheMesSiah 🕎✝️✡️👃🏼

He was the family crest of cernunnos wow when he comes back everyone will kneel before em 😮

You REAP what you SOWED !!! EXACTLY !! AMEN !

Omissiom of truth is a lie. In the end we will be balanced and judged according to the Spirit of Truth. The gravitas of the Lord"s Mercy will be counter balaned with remnants of God's Love that remains with us. We love because God first loved us. ❤

All these are valid for non-believers and atheists. A believer should also worship Pilates as like any other saints because he was just a tool of God to enact what was intended to happen.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Excellent message for reflection 🙏

I had heard about this on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) Mother Angelica stated he befriended Herriod for support but later Pilot overcomed by guilt and the loss of power committed suicide.

Father , forgive them for they know not what they do. Only God could ever love and forgive so perfectly ! I read study and pray everyday to be just like my/ our messiah. To love how he loved , to forgive the way he forgave and to pray for my enemies though I don’t know of any. If we say we have no sin then we lie and deceive ourselves and the Holy Spirits not in us. How frustrating it is wanting to be like my messiah but always missing the mark.

Incredible, very incredible…

All told, Pilate was a just Man, and tried his very best to save Jesus from the horror of Crucification. There is No way to deny this.

To God be the glory

It does beg the question of fate/destiny vs free will. One may argue that had Pilate NOT ordered the execution, Jesus may well never have gotten crucified, and the whole basis of Christianity might never have happened. A totally alternate history.

I find this story fascinating, given that historians didn’t even acknowledge Pilate as a real historical person. Only after a stone was discovered in the ruins of Caesarea,baring the name pilate,did they realize, his existence was possible. Historians still have doubts, about the actual existence of Jesus, but we are led to believe the information in this story is factual?. And the Bible says it was actually the Sanhedrin who bribed the guards to lie about the resurrection of Jesus, not Pontius Pilate.

New subscriber from Nagaland, Northeast Indian.

Without pilate we wouldn't have Christianity as in isaiah 53 the suffering servant 800yrs before the messiah proving What God decrees comes to pass

Read Pilate's letter to Caesar after the crucifixion. Pilate was between a rock and a hard place and was on Jesus' side.

Some fanatics said Jesus died. He never risen from death. Even here Ilaya Raja whose family in early days lived on the support of Protestant Christian groups, said Jesus never risen. If he had not risen those apostles who had ran away and even denied him and hid themselves not to be seen by others would not have that much of surpassing courage and wisdom to go out and preach. The spread of Christianity is the witness for having seen the Lord Christ risen from death.

Thank you

When Pilate realized that nothing more could be done but that there would soon be a riot, he took a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying: “I take no responsibility for the death of this man. You must see to that yourselves.” Matthew 27:24, Phillips. If at the first Pilate had stood firm, refusing to condemn a man whom he found guiltless, he would have broken the fatal chain that was to bind him in remorse and guilt as long as he lived. Had he carried out his convictions of right, the Jews would not have presumed to dictate to him. Christ would have been put to death, but the guilt would not have rested upon Pilate. But Pilate had taken step after step in the violation of his conscience. He had excused himself from judging with justice and equity, and he now found himself almost helpless in the hands of the priests and rulers. His wavering and indecision proved his ruin.33The Desire of Ages, 732. In fear and self-condemnation Pilate looked upon the Saviour. In the vast sea of upturned faces, His alone was peaceful. About His head a soft light seemed to shine. Pilate said in his heart, He is a God. Turning to the multitude he declared, I am clear of His blood. Take ye Him, and crucify Him. But ... I pronounce Him a just man. May He whom He claims as His Father judge you and not me for this day's work. Then to Jesus he said, Forgive me for this act; I cannot save You.... Pilate longed to deliver Jesus. But he saw that he could not do this, and yet retain his own position and honor. Rather than lose his worldly power, he chose to sacrifice an innocent life. How many, to escape loss or suffering, in like manner sacrifice principle. Conscience and duty point one way, and self-interest points another.... Pilate yielded to the demands of the mob. Rather than risk losing his position, he delivered Jesus up to be crucified. But ... the very thing he dreaded afterward came upon him. His honors were stripped from him, he was cast down from his high office, and, stung by remorse and wounded pride, not long after the crucifixion he ended his own life. So all who compromise with sin will gain only sorrow and ruin. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Proverbs 14:12).34Ibid., 738.

A good reminder, thank you, brother 🙏

It is believed that Pilate actually converted to Christianity later on in his life. The coptic church, for example, celebrates a feast day on the 19th and 25th of June because of it. On the other hand historian Eusebius believes that Pilate committed suicide around 39 AD. This fact is let out of other works touching on his life such as Josephus, Philo and Tacitus. I would rather trust the coptic Church (even tho I am not coptic) with this piece of information rather than Eusebius. However, it is important to note that Pilate "washed his hand" three times of Christ's execution, stating he did not find a fault with Him.

Isaiah 53 "A man of sorrows acquainted with grief. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our suffering was upon him and by his stripes, we are healed." Psalm 77 "Then I said, I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the most high. I will remember the deeds of the Lord. Yes I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work and meditate on your mighty deeds. Your way o God, is Holy. What God is great, like our God? You are the God who works wonders. You have made your might known among the peoples. You have stretched your arm out in mercy, to the sons of jacob and joseph."

Thank you for this video it never crossed my mind how pilot life was after the order to crucify Jesus I truly hope he came to know who Jesus was and repented and he is now with Jesus

The exact cause of Pontius Pilate's death is not known with certainty, but there are several accounts and legends surrounding his fate. Here are some of the most common theories: Eusebius, a Christian historian, claimed that Pilate was recalled to Rome after ruling over Judea for ten years, and that he eventually committed suicide after being exiled by Emperor Caligula. Another account claims that Pilate was banished to Vienne in modern-day France, where he died. There is also a legend that Pilate and his wife converted to Christianity, and that he was later beheaded by Emperor Nero. A 4th-century text called the "Acts of Pilate" claims that Pilate was arrested and executed by Emperor Tiberius for his role in the crucifixion of Jesus. Despite these various accounts, there is no concrete historical evidence to confirm any of them, and the true circumstances of Pilate's death remain a mystery.

I don’t know how justified Pilate is but everything went according to plan as God said in Genesis

The importance of making just decisions is a stumbling block confronting human behavior. Pilate had a choice when presented with the awful dilemma of putting an innocent man to death; yet knowing he was dealing with an innocent man, he chose to succumb to the Jewish leader's request to have him killed. Pilate had the political power to set Jesus free. The Jewish leaders would then have no choice but to appeal to higher Roman authorities to handle their case. The notion that Pilate had to hand Jesus over because it was God's will does not make sense if we have a choice to act morally in the face of extreme circumstances. Pilate's morally wrong decision seems to be a human condition in which we act out of fear (not necessarily cowardice) in times of extremely challenging situations.

Second para of Nicean Creed mentions about Pilate for the historicity of Lord Jesus Christ

Pilate tried to release Jesus a few times, but other than that….I would think that this sort of thing happened often. How many “messiahs” came and went during his tenure? He did what he thought was best for Rome; right or wrong…..under immense pressure from the Sanhedrin. Any decision he made had the potential to “generate serious political and social consequences.” 0:49

The Crucifixion of JESUS was God's WILL & Critical to our Redemption JESUS accepted his fate God allowed it.

The Death of Pontius Pilates Death was not explain as of the title of this video!

it wasnt to prevent the cruxfiction it was to prevent him from creating karma for killing an anlightened soul

Pilot gave the Choice to the PEOPLE by asking if he should free Christ or Barabbas; Matthew 27:15-26 15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus[a] Barabbas. 17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” 18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him. 19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.” 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. 21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered. 22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!” 23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” 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!” 25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!” 26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. Who WERE the People Pilot was talking too? Where was he When he GAVE that choice? Read the Bible not The INTERNET!

When under pressure go with your conscience. He should've listened to his wife. You can't go wrong by doing the right thing

What people don’t realize is that with no crucifixion (death) there would be no resurrection. Therefore, no redemption. Jesus going to the cross was essential to our faith and belief. Claudia Procula, if anything, was working on behest of the devil to prevent this. Even Judas played an important role. Don’t we think it would have been different if none of this happened? Where then would have been the plan of God in reconciling man to Him?

At 15:02 it shows the Mosque. That didnt happen for another 1,000 yrs

The Roman soldiers seeing death, decapitation... Knealt by the cross.. during death people curse; the Bible says ables blood cried out from vengeance; but the blood of Christ cried out forgiveness for those who crucified him...

But if the pilate stood for LORD JESUS in support of LORD JESUS, what will b the out come.?????

I truly believe Pilate was an honorable and honest man, and I'd hope he's in Heaven with Christ. He tried to save Christ multiple times, but inevitably he gave him over to the Jewish leadership to deal with. He's not responsible for the injustice towards Christ; he earnestly tried to save Him from death. The mobs of Jews and the religious elite in Israel are responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus.

God is with all of us right now. Look at all the weird stuff going on in the sky right now. Its absolutely absurd to me now, to think there isnt god and his son.

I honestly cannot imagine the evil that relentlessly attacked him. From people to powerful spiritual entities. I get the feeling Christ ensured Pilot that he would make the correct decision; but, his place in God's plans was one of the most difficult positions a human would ever have to face. But notice. Pilot isn't known for ruthlessly charging Christ. He's remembered for having made the most difficult decision of any man. God chose him for a reason. I'm sure it'll all be explained to him in full. In my opinion, I believe he'll find his name in the book of life and Jesus will put his immense suffering into perspective. Christ will heal every spiritual wound that he dealt with. Of every man that God created, He chose Pilot for that role. God undoubtedly made a very spiritually tough man out of Pilot. In the end, somebody would have to make that decision and Hod chose him. It wasn't chance. His decision ignited the flame of Christianity to carry on in time. As a result, Satan failed this battle and Pilot had to tragically suffer the rest of his life. He was a huge part in God's plan: to end Jesus' chapter as a man and start a new one of his ressurection. He did what he was chosen for. His life leading to this absolutely soul crushing decision was his purpose. Horrible, yes. Necessary, most definetely. God chose him to make a tough, if not the toughest, decision any man would have to face. I'm sure Satan definetely enjoyed it all. All but the most important part where Christ defeated death. As I theorize, I think Christ essentially told him to do what God needed; not what Pilot wanted. The suffering that plagued him the rest of his life was Satan's vengeance for following through with an extremely painful. God's plans are never completely understood. Same as Judas. He tried returning the coins but the rabbis scoffed at him. His guilt lead to suicide. In the end, that was his role in God's plan. My mom and I believe Judas will be in the book of life. He played it how God planned. In killing himself, it showed he held guilt and regret beyond reason. That's the idea, some of the most villainous figures in the bible were chosen by God to commit actions we couldn't ever imagine facing. Whether they were intentionally evil not. Still happens today. Good is evil and evil is good. When God explains how important they were, they'll understand and finally be at peace.

What a great lesson.... God bless u constantly

Pilate gave the government of Israel a choice. They chose Barabas. Pilate was guilty of nothing. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickened all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession. I Timothy 6:13(kjv)

He was the most decent man in the whole story.... Who said that? Niezsche?

This video is excellent but much too repetitive.

It’s unfair that the Pilate was punished for being the judge. Pilate washed his hands of the responsibility, just like the apostles shook the dust off their feet as a sign of the ppl’s rejection of the gospel. All the blame should fall on the Jews and the Jews alone. They have been persecuting all the prophets sent to them and the crucifixion of Christ was no different from their usual game play. I hope that the Lord will be merciful on Pilate on judgement day.

I have not put much thought to this, but I guess I should. Without the actions of Pilot, Judas, the Pharasies, we would not have the salvation offered us through Christ's blood. All of this is God's plan, but if someone acted differently, or made a different decision then we are still under the curse of death. I don't even know the question to ask...I believe in free will, I also believe God has a plan. I guess I'm trying to reconcile these two thoughts in light of these circumstances

Look if he could not find any guilt on Jesus he should have had the courage to let him go. Also I don’t believe he was at the crucifixion so right there he was having internal issues and still could have done something up to the last minute
