=== Proceeding over the Trial of Jesus ===

When [[Judas Iscariot]] had betrayed Jesus Christ, he was arrested by the Jewish priesthood, including [[Caiaphas]] the high priest. After Jesus had been tried by the Jews, the Jewish brought him to the palace in [[Jerusalem]] belonging to the current Judean governor; at the time Pilate. When the Jewish arrived at Pontius Pilate's palace, they could not enter his palace, because it was early morning and they wanted to partake in [[Passover]]<ref>John 18:28, Luke 23:1, Mark 15:1</ref>.

When [[Judas Iscariot]] had betrayed Jesus Christ, he was arrested by the Jewish priesthood, including [[Caiaphas]] the high priest. After Jesus had been tried by the Jews, the Jewish brought him to the palace in [[Jerusalem]] belonging to the current Judean governor; at the time Pilate. When the Jewish arrived at Pontius Pilate's palace, they could not enter his palace, because it was early morning and they wanted to remain clean to partake in [[Passover]]<ref>John 18:28, Luke 23:1, Mark 15:1</ref>.
So Pilate came out of his palace to exercise his judicial obligations and asked what charges were accused of Jesus<ref>John 28:29</ref>. The Jews notioned several false charges against Jesus, and also notioned that He had claimed to be king<ref>Luke 23:1</ref>. Pilate then told the Jews that they needed to try him by their own law, rather than Roman law enforced by him, but they did not have the right to execute<ref>John 18:31</ref>.

Then Pontius went back inside his palace and summoned Jesus and asked Him if He was the king of the jews<ref>John 18:33,Luke 23:3, Matt 27:11,Mark 15:2</ref>. Jesus responded by stating if he said so, and asking him of Pilate had came up with this idea on hiw own<ref>John 18:34</ref>. The Judean Prefect told Jesus that he was not a Jew and it was his own people that had made the claim of his kingship<ref>John 18:35</ref>. Jesus then explained to Pontius that His kingdom was not of the world, and so Pilate exclaimed that Jesus was indeed a king<ref>John 18:37</ref>. Pilate continued asking Christ about the charges in which had been accused of<ref>Matt 27:12-13,Mark 15:3-4,</ref>, but to Pilate's astonishment remained quiet<ref>Matt 27:14, Mark 15:5</ref>. After Jesus explained to Pontius that the truth was on his side he retorted the question of what truth was<ref>John 18:38</ref>.

After this the Roman Governor brought Jesus back out to the crowds and announced that no charge had been found against him<ref name=":2" />. The crowd became enraged with this answer, and began to complain of how Jesus had begun teaching from [[Galilee]] and into Judea<ref>Luke 23:5</ref>. Upon hearing this Pilate asked if the man was from Galilee<ref>Luke 23:6</ref>. After learning that Jesus was from Galilee (being from [[Nazareth]]) and under Herod Antipas' jurisdiction sent him to Herod<ref>Luke 23:7</ref>.

On that day Pilate and Antipas became friends and ended their rivalry<ref name=":3" />.
+

Pilate then called together the accusers of Jesus and told them that neither him nor his new ally Antipas had found any legal basis<ref>Luke 23:13-16</ref><ref name=":2" />, so he would be punished and then released. Judea's governor also practiced a custom in which he would release one prison of the crowds choosing near the Passover feast<ref>Matt 27:15, Mark 15:6, Luke 23:17</ref>. Pilate asked the crowd if they wanted the "king of the Jews" to be released<ref>Mark 15:9, John 18:39</ref>, knowing that it was out of self interest for him to be charged<ref>Mark 15:10</ref>. While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife told him not to have anything to do with Jesus Christ, because she had agonized over a dream about him<ref>Matt 27:19</ref>

Instead the crowds asked for an infamous insurrectionist named [[Barabbas|Jesus Barabbas]]<ref>Luke 23:18, John 18:40, Mark 15:12, Matt 27:21</ref>. Pilate wanting Jesus to be released, once again appealed to the crowds<ref>Luke 23:20</ref> asking what should be done with Jesus<ref>Mark 15:12, Matt 27:22</ref>. They shouted for Pontius to crucify him, but he pleaded two more times to consider releasing Jesus<ref>Luke 23:22, Mark 15:14, Matt 27:23</ref>.
+
+
When the prefect saw his pleas were going nowhere, he washed his hands in front of the crowd and exclaimed he was innocent of the man's blood<ref>Matt 27:24</ref>.Wanting to please the ever insistent crowd, Pilate finally gave in to their demands and released Barabbas<ref>Luke 23:23-25</ref> and had Jesus flogged<ref>John 19:1, Luke 23:15, Matt 27:26</ref>.

=== Overseeing Jesus's Crucifixion ===
In 36 AD, the Zealots (a Jewish religious group that fought the Romans) started a riot at Samaria. Pilate had the instigators and 30,000 Samaritans crucified. This event scared the religious leaders who went to Rome and begged emperor Tiberius to remove Pilate from office in return they promised peace. Tiberius agreed and Pilate was removed from office. He was exiled to the Roman city of Vienne, France.
