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)
There was no pilot who crucified Jesus. The man responsible for sentencing Jesus to his crucifixion was the Roman governor of Judea Pontius Pilate. Although he did not believe that Jesus deserved to be crucified, the people demanded it and he complied. However, after he allowed it, he washed his hands, symbolizing that he did not want to be acknowledged as the man responsible for Jesus' death.
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.
A:In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and John, Pontius Pilate alone tried Jesus and sentenced him to death, although most unwillingly. In the Gospel of Luke, Pontius Pilate was asked by the religious authorities to try and sentence Jesus but, being unwilling to sentence an innocent man and learning that Herod Antipas was in Jerusalem, sent Jesus to Herod to be sentenced. Herod, in turn, was unwilling to sentence Jesus and so left Pilate with this terrible responsibility.
Jesus was crucified by the Romans, specifically under the orders of Pontius Pilate, who was the Roman governor of Judea at that time. It was a common method of execution used by the Romans for criminals and political agitators.
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.
That would be Pilate, the Roman governor.
He sentenced him to the cross
Pontius Pilote
The Jews. The Roman governor Pilate saw that Jesus was a blameless man and asked the crowd who consisted of mostly Jews to pardon Jesus. It was Passover and the Jews were allowed to allow one prinsoner form the jail to be set free. The Jews chose for a murder named Barabas to be set free and chanted for Jesus to be crucified. Read Matthew 27: 11-25. I'm adding this from my comments in the discussion: Crucifixion (not, 'crucification') was a Roman form of execution. For someone to be crucified they had to have broken a Roman law. Therefore, Jesus must have broken a Roman law, which means the Roman governor sentenced him to crucificxion. Whether the population of Jerusalem at the time chose to free him or not, the ones who sentenced him were Roman. (Timarkos)
Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea at the time, following pressure from the Jewish religious authorities who accused Jesus of blasphemy and claiming to be the king of the Jews.

Jesus was later crucified even though he did absolutely nothing wrong.The Roman official who tried Jesus was Pontius Pilate.Pontius Pilate was the Procurator of Judea. During his tenure there, he was faced with the problem of Jesus. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem believed that Jesus was a false "God" and a danger to the Jewish establishment.

Rather than having problems with Jewish leaders, Pilate relented and ordered that Jesus be crucified.
