Who washed his hands of the death of Jesus?
Pontius Pilate. The same Pontius Pilate who mixed the blood of the Galantiens with their sacrifices. In other words the same Pontius Pilate who killed many Galantiens, (when they went to make sacrifices at the Holy Temple) washed his hands after ordering Jesus to be crucified.
Why didn't Jesus share his message with Pontius Pilot or King Herod?
According to Christian beliefs, Jesus redeemed us by his crucifixion. It was all according to God's plan. Herod was only a minor player, but on a purely civil basis, he found no problem with Jesus. Had he been a convert, the injustice of the sentence would not be valid. The same goes for Pilate. If Pilate had been converted, he would never have passed the death sentence. There would have been no crucifixion, thus no redemption.
Did Muhammad live the same time as Jesus?
No, after Jesus.
What were the sins of Pontius Pilate?
The sin of Pilate is that he did not prevent the Crucifixion of Jesus. Failing to prevent a wrong when it is in one's power to do so is the same as committing the wrong. In this particular case, what Pilate did was outside the law which he was bound to, and he simply caved to peer/political pressure and condemned an innocent. That would have been considered morally and ethically wrong in all courts. The New Testament, or more specifically: the writers of the new testament (e.g. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) paint Pilate in a somewhat favorable light. They all report Pilate as having said something along the lines of "I find no crime in this man" to the assembled crowd. Now, it should be noted that at this point in history the province of Judea was under the jurisdiction of the Roman Empire, but, as was commonplace, the province was allowed to retain much of its own authority regarding prosecution of crime and organizational affairs. As such, Jesus was more or less directly answerable to the Sanhedrin (Jewish court of law) when it came to issues regarding local law. Crucifixion, however, could only be administered by the Romans themselves, and that is why the crowds brought him before Pilate. Pilate asks Jesus before the trial, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus responds, "You have said so." (Matthew 27:11) Pilate was not Jewish, but his verbal exchanges with Jesus prior to and during the trial indicate a certain sympathy for Jesus himself. After pleading to the crowd to let Jesus go, Pilate openly washes his hands and says, "I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves." (Matthew 27:24) As stated above, however, it is not ethically right to stand by while someone innocent is killed for bogus crimes. Being governor, Pilate's chief responsibility was to suppress any movements of rebellion, and because the Jewish people were so adamant in condemning Jesus that open revolt was becoming a seemingly real possibility, Pilate allowed him to be taken by the crowds to his death. The inscription on the cross calling Jesus The King of the Jews was actually put there by Pilate, much to the displeasure of the pharisees. Whether or not you see Pilate's deferral of responsibility as a legitimate defense does not change the fact that he had sufficient power to stop the crucifixion but chose not to in order to quell any potential movements of rebellion. Some institutions, however, have adopted Pilate as a Saint because of his extreme opposition to the crucifixion of Jesus, his acknowledgment of Jesus as The King of the Jews, and because he was witness to the death of Jesus and therefore a witness to the resurrection story. Some scholars, however, believe that Pilate was perhaps not as honorable as it would seem and claim that the writers of the Gospels only portrayed Pilate in such a way so as to gain favor with the Roman government which was still in control at that time.
Who are the people who lived in the same time as Jesus?
People who lived during the time of Jesus included various groups such as the Jewish population in Judea, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots. The Roman Empire was also influential, with figures like King Herod and Pontius Pilate playing significant roles in the region. Additionally, early Christians and followers of Jesus, such as the apostles, were integral to the historical context of his life and teachings. Other contemporary cultures in the surrounding areas included Greeks and various local tribes.
When was Jesus first called Jesus Christ?
Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ. (Matthew 16:20) This is the first mention of the words 'Jesus' and 'Christ' in a descriptive action narrative, and in the same sentence. There are prior mentions in Matthew, but they are not in the context of action narration. Interestingly, Jesus Himself, while using the term, is exhorting His disciples NOT to use it or spread it around publicly. Pontius Pilate referred to Him in those terms: Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ? (Matthew 27:17) He was known as Jesus Christ before He was executed. _____________________________________________________ Man added the word Jesus, (Christ just means Messiah) but His real name is Not Jesus and this has no meaning, whereas His real name Yeshua does, it means SALVATION, just look up the name Yeshua.
Why didn't the Romans think Jesus was the son of god and wanted him to be crucified?
The Romans believed in many gods. They believed their emperor was a god. But they didn't think a Hebrew carpenter's son was, or could ever be, a god. Many people today hold the same belief. But the fact that they didn't believe He was God in no way enters into any discussion or consideration of why the Romans were involved in Jesus' execution. Jesus' case never left Palestine. In fact, it never left Jerusalem. The only interface He had with the Romans was with their governor, Pontius Pilate. The biblical record shows that even though he heard all the charges against Jesus, he found no fault in Him and nothing worthy of death. Pilate had no interest whatsoever in executing Jesus. This fact is remarkable because Pilate was known as a very harsh, very ruthless governor who was not afraid to spill gallons of blood to make a point. And yet, when confronted with the case of the Galilean carpenter, he tried desperately to wriggle out of issuing a death warrant. But the political pressure put on him by the religious leaders in Jerusalem was too great, and he finally caved in to their demand for Jesus' execution. The Romans [read Pilate] did not WANT to execute Jesus, and the warrant for His death was issued only reluctantly and only after the application of significant political pressure.
What is the theme of the story of Jesus before Pilate?
The theme is that of Belief vs Unbelief. At one point Jesus said to Pilate that he was the Truth. Pilate replied: what is truth? He certainly did not know because the Truth was standing right in front of him as he asked this question. Pilate by "washing" his hands of Jesus's death was actually showing his guilt. It was not Jesus who was on trial but rather Pilate himself and through his actions or lack thereof he convicted himself. Possibly there are a number of themes and sub-themes here. Pilate was also known at times as being one who was very cruel to the Jews and also very stubborn. Here he is seen as being weak and bowing to pressure, which some have interpreted as being out of character. However on one previous occasion when he had caused gross offense to the Jews by allowing some votive shields to be placed where they should not be (according to the Jews religion) and would not yield to their pleas to remove them, they threatened and then actually did send a report to Caesar, who swiftly rebuked Pilate and ordered their removal. When at Jesus' trial the Jews said 'if you let this man go you are no friend of Caesar,' Pilate understood their meaning. This was a thinly veiled threat to do the same again - probably with dire consequences for Pilate. (Pilate of course knew the Jews wanted the Romans out and were themselves not great lovers of Caesar). The theme here could be stated in several ways - every man has his price. In this case Pilate valued his skin over justice. He bowed to pressure. 'Leverage' could be another way of stating it or 'between a rock and a hard place.'
