Who Was Pontius Pilate?
By DR. DAVID I. NAGLEE
Religion Department, LaGrange
College
Pontius Pilate, following an in
famous trial of Jesus Christ,
passed the death sentence upon
him. Surely history can tell
more about him than the brief
biblical account. There are num
erous facts about Pontius Pilate
gleaned from various sources;
some Roman, some contempo
rary scholars such as Josephus
and Philo Judaeus, and some
from historians of the genera
tion after Pilate.
Pilate was the fifth procurator
(military governor) over Judea
and Samaria, ruling the terri-
day dinner guests of Mrs. Ella
Kimble, Mrs. Roy Kimble and
Douglas, Mr. and Mrs. Oran Kim
ble and Sammy and Dale Elling
ton.

tory from 26 to 36 A. D., de
riving his authority directly from
the Roman emperor, Tiberius.
He was a Roman polotician ap
parently Insensitive to the needs
and feelings of his subjects. He
often sat in the provincial court
as the supreme judicial authori
ty. His living quarters were in
the palace of Herod in Caesarea.
The 3,000 Roman soldiers were
deployed by him to Jerusalem
five times a year for the Je
wish temple festivals. These
occasions brought thousands of
persons to the Holy City, and of
course this meant excitement.
To Roman authorities such ga
therings were conducive to insur
rection.
Early in his rule, Pilate dis
guised his soldiers as Jewish
pilgrims and sent them in Je
rusalem. Their mission was to
capture the temple and take the
treasury funds which he planned
to use for a new aqueduct. The
disguised band failed in their
mission but managed to kill a
number of Jews. Philo JUdaeus,
a Jewish scholar from Alexan
dria, claimed that Pilate hence
forth bore the hatred of all Pal
estinian Jews.
Pilate further antagonized the
Jewish community when he or
dered his troops to carry the
Roman standards into the Holy
City during a holy season. The
standards bore Images of Empe
ror Tiberius. They were re
garded as idols and their with
drawal was demanded. Jewish
protesters petitioned Pilate at
his palace in Caesarea for their
removal. After five days, Pi
late threatened Jerusalem with
milltray reprisal, but claiming
they would gladly die by the
sword, the Jews forced Pilate
to back down and remove the of
fending “idols.”
His fall from power came when
he dispatched his troops to Mount
Gerezlm In Samaria in 36 A. D.
He believed the Samaritans were
arming for rebellion. Actually
the Samaritans had gathered to
see one of their prophets uncover
the buried “vessels” which, ac
cording to Samaritan religion,
Moses had placed on the “Holy
Mountain.” Unarmed women,
men, and children died by the
hundreds that day as Pilate’s
soldiers hacked the crowd to
pieces. The few survivors
protested to the Roman legate in
Syria and a formal complaint
against Pilate was made to Rome.
He was immediatley called to
Rome for a hearing. But be
fore his arrival in Rome the
emperor died. At this point
information about Pilate ceases
(Our Advertisers Are Assured of Best Results)
and legend commences.
The legend recounted by Euse
bius says that after his trial
he was exiled. Many misfortunes
accompanied him and he finally
took his own life. A book, “Mors
Pilati,” says his body was
thrown in the Tiber but that evil
spirits in the water carried the
body to the Rhone in protest.
Along the Rhone there is a place
called “Pilate’s Tomb.” A later
tradition says that the evil spirits
of the Rhone in turn carried the
body to a lake in the Alps near
Lausanne. The mountain over
looking this lake is, to this day,
called “Pilatus.”
Not every Christian church re
gards Pilate as an infidel. The
Abyssinian Church refers to him
as St. Pilate, honoring him an
nually with a feast on June 25.
In some churches his wife Clau
dia Procula also is regarded as
a saint. Origen a Christian scho
lar of the third century, says that
Claudia became a Christian after
the Crucifixion. For centuries
the Greek chruch has honored her
as a saint, observing as her day
the 27th of October.
