The Roman governer was Pontius Pilat.
Pontius Pilate was removed from his position as Roman governor of Judea and sent into exile in 36 AD.
The Roman governor of Judea during the time of Jesus was Pontius Pilate. He served from AD 26 to 36 and is best known for presiding over the trial of Jesus and ordering his crucifixion. Pilate's governance was marked by tensions between the Roman authorities and the Jewish population. His actions and decisions have been a subject of historical and theological discussion.
His name was Pontius Pilate
Israel did not have a king at that time (unless you count Jesus, whose crime displayed on His cross when He was executed was "Rex Iudaeorum", Latin for King of the Jews). The area had been taken over by the Roman Empire. It was governed by Pontius Pilate, who served as prefect of the Roman region of Judea from A.D. 26 until 36.
Jesus did not have his trial in the Praetorian, which was the barracks for the Roman soldiers. Instead, his trial took place before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, who was likely in his official residence in Jerusalem, possibly the Antonia Fortress. The Gospel accounts detail that Jesus was first brought before the Jewish authorities and then handed over to Pilate for the Roman trial. Therefore, while the Praetorian itself was not the venue, the trial occurred in a location associated with Roman authority.
At the time of Jesus' birth, around 4 to 6 BC, the Governor of Syria was Quirinius. He is known for conducting a census that played a significant role in the nativity narrative found in the Gospel of Luke. Quirinius' governance was marked by administrative reforms and the consolidation of Roman authority in the region. His rule is often associated with the broader context of Roman rule over Judea during this period.
Jesus was handed over to be crucified by the Jewish religious leaders and authorities, led by the high priest Caiaphas, who accused him of blasphemy and sought his execution. Ultimately, it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who sentenced Jesus to death by crucifixion.
The Roman Governors (Prefects) of Judea during the lifetime of Jesus Were: Herod Archelaus (4BC to 6 AD) Coponius (6 AD to 9 AD) Marcus Ambivulus (9 AD to 13 AD) Annius Rufus (13 AD to 15 AD) Valerius Gratus (15 Ad to 26 AD)Pontius Pilate (26 AD to 36 AD)
The criminal who was released instead of Jesus is named Barabbas. According to the New Testament, during the Passover festival, it was customary for the Roman governor to release one prisoner chosen by the crowd. In a choice presented by Pontius Pilate, the crowd chose to free Barabbas, a notorious prisoner, over Jesus, leading to Jesus' crucifixion.
The Roman government ruled over Palestine the country Jesus lived in.
The Romans appointed quasi-Jewish and Jewish overseers to Palestine in that time; Christ was given over to the Romans, but they are not considered complicit in His death, except peripherally. The name of the actual executioners of Christ's sentence are lost to time.
He had righteous anger. The Bible says he had never sinned in his lifetime. According to Jesus, hatred is a sin.
