What a busy 12 hours that was! Hardly had Jesus eaten his last supper and taken a stroll in a garden when he was hauled all over town, appearingbefore councils, high priests, Roman governor, Jewish prince, and angry mobs. Just as well he had four different prison cells to spend the rest of the night!

Who was Pontius Pilate?Pontius Pilate was the fifth prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from 26-37 AD. He is best known today for adjudicating on the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. In all four gospel accounts, Pilate lobbies for Jesus to be spared his eventual fate of execution, and acquiesces only when the crowd refuses to relent. He thus seeks to avoid personal responsibility for the death of Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew, Pilate washes his hands to show that he is not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sends him to his death. The Gospel of Mark, depicting Jesus as innocent of plotting against the Roman Empire, portrays Pilate as reluctant to execute him. In the Gospel of Luke, Pilate not only agrees that Jesus did not conspire against Rome, but Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, also finds nothing treasonable in Jesus' actions. In the Gospel of John, Pilate states "I find no guilt in Him [Jesus]," and he asks the Jews if Jesus should be released from custody.
