Well, in one sense, obviously. Everyone is guilty for Christ's death. But I get the feeling that that isn't exactly the sense you were getting at. I suppose Pilate does share some of the specific guilt for the crucifixion. He tried to get Christ released several times, but he did cave in to the Jews when they threatened his career. The Jews are primarily responsible (no, this doesn't make me anti-Semitic, we would have done the same thing) but Pilate is not without guilt either. He would not have executed Christ without the provokation of the Jews, but neither did he have the courage to preserve the life of an innocent man. |
