I've always been puzzled by Pilate, the Roman governor who gave the order for Jesus to be executed. Didn't he say several times that he thought Jesus was innocent and shouldn't be put to death? Why then did he allow it?
I was reading the word of God this morning and look for the best explanations for the above but after reading different passages,I found a reference from Billy Graham that best explained the questions.
ANSWER: You’re right; Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who handed Jesus over to his soldiers to be crucified, repeatedly said that he didn’t think Jesus was guilty of any crime. After examining Jesus he declared, “I find no basis for a charge against this man” (Luke 23:4).
And yet Pilate eventually gave in to the pressure of those who wanted Jesus killed. Why? The only logical answer is that Pilate was a morally weak person, and instead of standing for the truth, he was only concerned about himself and his future.
