To: Alberta's Child

Alberta’s Child: “...a complete sense of detachment by Pontius Pilate in his conversation with Christ.”

I agree. That’s always struck me as strange, but it was probably normal for the times. Pilate was probably used to punishing people and didn’t think Christ was anyone special. You can almost hear him thinking, “Oh, great. Here come the Jews with another problem. What can I do to get rid of them quickly?”

Interesting insight, but I think it was pretty clear to Pilate that he wasn't dealing with an ordinary man.

From Matthew 27:13-14 ...

Then Pilate saith to him: Dost not thou hear how great testimonies they allege against thee? And he answered him to never a word; so that the governor wondered exceedingly.

Even Pilate's wife called him a "just man."
