Bible Question: Where was Jesus cucified? Wasn't it in Jeruselum? Why were the Roman soldiers involved? Did Rome have jusisdition of a larger teritory? |
Bible Answer: According to our history books and other historical records, the Roman Empire conquered Israel several years before this timeframe. This is alluded to in the Apophrical books between the Testaments of the Bible. I don't know much about these books but I understand they hold some interesting items of information. Pilate was the Roman official in charge of the whole area whereas Herod was in charge of Galilee only. This area was a continuous source of headaches to the Roman Government in Rome because of their alligence to God and the total lack of respect from the Israelites. No one really looked forward to ruling Israel but Pilate was directed to handle it and do so peacefully. |
