No, Pontius Pilot did not want to kill Jesus. He was against it and had no idea why the Jewish leaders wanted him dead so bad. That's why Pontius Pilot "washed his hands" of it.

The primary sources for both inquiries are the Gospel accounts of the events leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus, commonly called The Passion. In the Gospel accounts, Jesus is critical of the Pharisees, and causes a disturbance in the Temple, and is eventually arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin. There he is charged and convicted of blasphemy, and they decided to take him to the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate, asking him for Jesus' death. Pilate, after some debate, rejects their religious justifications, but accepts the political ones, see INRI, and sentences Jesus to death by crucifixion. yaldi The historical inquiry is aided by other sources from antiquity which explain the cultural and political environment in which Jesus lived. Historical analyses of Jesus' death generally assigned responsibility to either:

So as you see, Jesus was convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to death by the Jews. But under Roman occupation, I do not beleive they could carry out the death penalty with out the consent of Rome. Hence enter poor confused Pontius Pilot who had no idea what the big deal was.

And yet that wasn't my point. The final execution was carried out by the Roman Empire. They even mocked Jesus of the "king of the Jews."

So yeah, preach to someone who actually cares.

Out of Hitler and Bin Laden?

Probaly Hitler but this isn't as clear someone can think.

Most evil in whole history?

Marx and Engels. And for those saying that communism idea is good: Gulag camps, geinocides, cenzorship, as well as much more evil things are in communism manifesto.

There's a difference between crappy communism and good communism. You describe the crappy kind.

hahahahaha, that's the problem with communism. It's too hard to come up with a good example of it.

Quotes are from communism manifesto:

"Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture."

You have to work, you don't have a choice work or not work.

"Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc."

From communist language to normal: Childrens will continue to work and only thing that will change is name.

"Abolition of the family!"

Do I need to even coment that?

"But communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality,"

In short communists will say what is good and what is bad, and you will have to obey.

I hate communism. And dislike most socialist ideas.

Anyway, I agree that the Jews killed Jesus. U can't blame that on the Romans.

Imperialists who colonized Africa, every bastard who took part in the slave trade and The Israeli politicians butchering Palestinians and stealing their land. I was gonna say the people who butchered Pocahantus and her people but that'ld offend most of you.

You wanna see my Top 3 ?
1. Stalin - by far
2. Mao - close 2nd
3. Hitler - with a big distance

Osama.... Oh c'mon there are hundreds probably thousands of people who are more evil than him

Hilter was very evil. Either way, both of these guys are very evil.
