Pontious Pilate was a Roman leader, that was the governor of Jerusalem during the Roman occupation of the holy land. He was an extremely blood thirsty, savage person. He is most famous for reluctantly sentencing Jesus Christ to death by crucifixion.
Pontius Pilate was a Roman prefect of Judaea from 26-36 AD. He is best known for presiding over the trial of Jesus Christ and authorizing his crucifixion. Pilate's actions during this trial have had a significant impact on Christian theology and historical accounts.
Pilate and Herod were both Roman-appointed rulers in ancient Judea. They were known to have had a strained relationship, as Herod held authority over Galilee while Pilate was the prefect of Judea. Despite their differences, they came together during the trial of Jesus, as described in the New Testament.
The Roman governor of Judea before Pontius Pilate was Valerius Gratus. He ruled from around 15-26 AD and was responsible for appointing Pilate as his successor.
Jesus did not exert influence over Pilate in the traditional sense. However, Pilate's decision to crucify Jesus was influenced by political pressure and fear of potential unrest, rather than by any personal influence from 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.
In the movie "Jesus of Nazareth," the character of Pontius Pilate was played by British actor Rod Steiger. Steiger's portrayal of the Roman governor received critical acclaim for its complexity and depth.

Pilate
The Jewish people blamed him. The Roman soldiers physically crucified him. Pontious Pilate made the ruling.
Indeed he was. He was executed by the Roman government under the authority of Pontious Pilate for the charge of being a revolution leader in 31 AD. That much is known for certain.
Pilate had the choice between a miscarriage of Justice or a dangerous riot. He chose to sacrifice the one man rather than make a decision which could have caused the deaths of many of his soldiers and many more civilians.

God gave Jesus, his only begotten son, to die on the cross.
No he did not.
A Roman Procurator in Judea at the time of Christ.
The sins of all mankind - from Adam to the last person. In His human life to this end, the Roman Governor Pilate was the authority to condemn Him:John 19:9-11New King James Version (NKJV)9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus, "Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.10 Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?"11 Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
The Romans didn't have a problem with Jesus, the Jewish leaders did. Feeling threatened by Jesus's power over the Jewish people and His obvious gift of healing, they used their considerable influence to have the Romans kill Him. Pontis Pilate wanted nothing to do with the crucifixtion, which is why he symbolically 'washed his hands' of the entire affair.
