Pontius Pilate in 3min

The Boss: The Roman Emperor, Tiberius, needed a tough manager for a difficult region called Judea.

The Hire: He picked Pontius Pilate, a loyal soldier, for the job.

The Title: Pilate became the Prefect (the governor) of Judea.

The Power: His word was law. He controlled the army, collected taxes, and had the sole power to order executions.

The Challenge: His main task was to keep the peace in a province with a restless Jewish population.

Part 2: Meeting Jesus (The Trial)
The Delivery: Early one morning, the Jewish religious leaders dragged a bound man named Jesus to Pilate. They accused him of claiming to be a "king," which was a crime against Rome.

The Question: Pilate took Jesus aside and asked him, "So, are you the king of the Jews?"

The Strange Answer: Jesus talked about a spiritual kingdom, not an earthly one. Pilate was confused and thought, "This guy isn't a real threat."

The First Try: Pilate went outside and told the crowd, "I find no reason to condemn this man."

The Warning: Suddenly, he got a nervous note from his wife, Claudia. It said: "Don't have anything to do with that innocent man. I had a terrible dream about him today."

The Trick: Looking for a way out, Pilate learned Jesus was from Galilee. He sent Jesus to the local Jewish ruler, King Herod, who was in town. "He's your problem," he thought.

The Return: Herod mocked Jesus but found him harmless and sent him right back to Pilate.

The Offer: Pilate had an idea. At Passover, he could free one prisoner. He gave them a choice: Jesus, or a violent murderer named Barabbas.

The Shock: The crowd, stirred up by the leaders, shouted, "Free Barabbas! Crucify Jesus!"

The Give-Up: Pilate was trapped. To show he was done with it, he washed his hands in front of everyone and said, "I am innocent of this man's blood." Then he handed Jesus over to be crucified.

Part 3: How He Died (The End)
The Final Mistake: A few years later, Pilate ordered his soldiers to kill a group of Samaritans. It was a needlessly cruel act.

The Complaint: The Samaritans complained to Pilate's boss in Rome.

The Firing: Pilate was fired from his job and ordered to return to Rome to explain himself.

Bad Timing: When he got there, the emperor had just died. There was no one to hear his case.

The Mystery: History loses track of him, but the most common story is that he fell into disgrace and despair, and eventually took his own life.
