Bible Note: 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. |
