Pontius Pilate;
Latin: Pilatus, was the
Prefect of the
Roman Empire's
Judaea Province from the year AD 26
until AD 36. Typically referenced as the fifth
Procurator of Judea, he is best known
as the judge at
Jesus'
trial and the man who ordered his
crucifixion, as attested by the
non-Christian
Cornelius Tacitus (who doesn't mention
the method of execution itself), the Jewish historian
Flavius Josephus and by the Bible.
Pilate appears in all four
canonical
Christian
Gospels. Mark, depicting Jesus as
innocent of plotting against Rome, portrays Pilate as extremely
reluctant to execute Jesus, blaming the Jewish hierarchy for his death.
In Matthew, Pilate washes his hands of Jesus and reluctantly sends him
to his death. In Luke, Pilate not only agrees that Jesus did not
conspire against Rome, but
Herod Antipas, the tetrarch, also finds
nothing treasonous in Jesus' actions. In John, Jesus' claim to be the
Son of Man or the Messiah to Pilate or
to the
Sanhedrin is not portrayed.
Pilate's biographical details before and after his
appointment to Judaea are unknown, but have been supplied by tradition,
which include the detail that
his wife's name was
Claudia Procula (she is canonized as a
saint in the
Greek Orthodox Church) and competing
legends of his birthplace.
