Hi, Doc! Thank you for the response... you stayed within the context and elaborated on your viewpoint... I surmised that Pilate, as procurator, would not only be on top of the various events taking place in his terretory, but he would also be aware of the prominent people traveling to and fro. Jesus may have been someone he might have wanted to impress--their short but tense interchange leads me to believe that Pilate wanted some answers from Jesus (beyond the direct responses to his questions)... Jesus' unresponsiveness quickly escalated Pilate's pomposity to the point of death threats. Again, thanks for your imput! God Bless! Angel |

Hi, Angel... I agree with you. The way the ancients wrote always seems a little "dry" to us. Clearly there was greater "texture" and detail going on then just what is recorded. Pilate just seemed to be trying to solve this problem with as little effort as possible. However, I suspect that he was also a little worried -- maybe what might seem a superstitious way to us -- because of his wife's warnings. But, in the end, Pilate's condemnation of an innocent man, showed that justice did not weigh as heavily with him as did political convenience. Something else about Pilate... Herod was such a schmuck... and the fact that Pilate later became buddies with the man says more about the kind of man Pilate was than just about anything else we have in the scripture! But you're right... I'm sure he was a pretty canny fellow. |
