[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 67410069, member: 326155"] What we know both biblically and extra-biblically is that Pontius Pilate was sent to Judea as the last gasp of his career (and possibly his life). He'd already screwed up with the prefects that were essentially in control of the empire, and the next serious riot out of Judea would bring him back to Rome disgraced. So any threat of trouble was trouble. He needed the local authorities--Herod and the priests to keep the lid on their own people, thus he was willing to give them a lot of leeway to do so and take whatever actions they convinced him were necessary to keep the crowds quelled. As keith99 has said, the Romans weren't going to dig into the machinations of Judean politics any deeper than Herod and the priests. [/QUOTE]
