ISB ~ Luke 23 v1

Pilate:Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judea from A.D. 26 to 36. While insensitive toward the Jews generally, he remains convinced of Jesus’ innocence throughout the trial (Jn 18:38; 19:4). He alone holds the authority to issue and execute a capital sentence in Judea (Jn 19:10; Acts 13:28).
