[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 67412400, member: 326155"] Except that on personal investigation, Pilate found that Jesus was not proclaiming himself a rival of the emperor. Jesus never called Himself king or Messiah in any terms that made sense to Pilate. Indeed, there is no indication that any of Jesus' activities had ever threatened a riot that ever came to Pilate's notice. Pilate was [B]told[/B] Jesus was dangerous by the priests, and he knew the priests could arouse a riot. Jesus was not a problem for Pilate. Jesus was a problem for Herod and the priests, so they presented Him as a problem to Pilate. Pilate simply didn't care enough about any one Judean to run any kind of risk. I remember in the mid 80s Ferdinand Marcos attempting to do the same thing with regard to the Communist New People's Army and US forces stationed in the Philippines, attempting to get the US involved in his counter-guerilla war. But the US never bit on his proposal that the NPA was a threat to the US as well as to him. [/QUOTE]
