Teacher317, I think you are not giving due consideration to Pilate's wife, who is the ONLY person who unambiguously stood up for Jesus and called him innocent at the time of his trial (Matthew 27:19).
Pilate knew he was innocent, but allowed him to be crucified: a form of punishment only the Roman law could inflict.

Exactly. It was in Pilate's power to stop the whole proceeding. Yet he decided to give the enemies of Christ their way out of cowardice. As someone pointed out above, it is a sin that many if not most of our politicians today are guilty of.

I will never understand the 2000 years of weekly hate poured on him for that.
Why does Caiaphias, the person who repeatedly started every call for the execution, get an eternal pass? Because his name is too tough?
