About Pontius Pilate: Pontius Pilate is best known from the biblical account of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus.
Art thou the King of the Jews?
Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Whether will the twain will ye that I release unto you?
What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ?
I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it.
Ye have a watch; go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee.
Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people; and behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him.
