The Trial of Pontius Pilate

“What is truth?”

Two thousand years ago, Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect of Judaea, ordered the execution of a man he knew to be innocent of the charges brought against him. The man he ordered to die by crucifixion was Jesus of Nazareth.

Pilate was never called to account for his actions. What if, in the weeks after Christ’s death, Pilate was brought to trial for the death of Jesus? How would Pilate defend his actions? And how would Pilate, and the entire court, react if he was confronted by his victim?

As the prosecution and defense argue over the evidence, the truth of the death and resurrection of Christ emerges. And so does the truth of who was Pilate, the man who condemned him.

The Trial of Pontius Pilate – the story of Easter from a completely differently perspective.
