Who ordered Jesus' death? Pontius Pilate and.....???????

Question

Pontius pilate.. and......................???????????????????? Was it king herod??

Answer 1

The execution took place in Jerusalem, so the Roman authority was Pontius Pilate.

Jesus was a Galilean, so the case was deferred to Herod Antipas, who punted it back to Pilate.

So Pilate was the only one who gave the order.

Answer 2

"Jesus spent the last hours before the crucifixion at several places in Jerusalem. He started the evening in the Upper Room, in southwest Jerusalem. At the Last Supper, He told the disciples that His body and His blood were to be given for them.(Matt 26: 26-29) He went outside of the city to the Garden of Gethesemane. He was then arrested and brought back to the to the palace of the High Priest. where He was questioned by Annas, a former High Priest, and Caiaphas, Annas' son in law . Afterwards, He was tried by the Sanhedrin, and found to be guilty of blasphemy by proclaiming Himself the Son of God. He was sentenced to the death penalty. Since only the Romans were able to execute criminals, He was sent to Pontius Pilate at the Antonia Fortress. Pilate, not finding anything wrong, sent Him to King Herod , who returned Him back to Pilate. Pilate, submitting to the pressure of the crowd, then ordered that Jesus be flogged and crucified. He was finally led out of the city walls to be crucified at Calvary."

Pontius Pilate alone technically gave the final word to crucify Jesus, although he was against it. All four books of the Bible that describe the crucifixtion (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are very clear that Pilate was warned by his wife to have nothing to do with this decision, believed that Jesus was a good man, and faced a very large angry mob of people hungry for the blood of Jesus.

Since the coming and crucifixtion of the messiah was prophetized throughout the Bible, I personally believe the death of Jesus was part of God's plan, and therefore ordered by God himself all along. So was Pilate responsible, or fated? I say he was just a part of the bigger picture, of the Lord God's will.

Answer 3

The idea that one of the most bloodthirsty dictators at the time did not want to execute a Jew accused of treason who might possibly lead a revolt against Rome is laughable. Even more laughable is the "fact" that he gave control to the Jews--Pilate and Rome HATED the Jews, and were loathe to give them any bearing in anything.

It was Pontius Pilate, and him alone, if things really happened that way at all. The New Testament blaming it on the Jews is just another instance of ridiculous anti-Semitism in the New Testament.

Answer 4

The Jewish religious leaders wanted Jesus Killed and they manouvred the situation to force the Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate to carry it out.
even Pontius could see that Jesus had done no wrong.

Answer 5

It was Pilate, kind of. He didn't actually order it, he allowed it. He didn't want to crucify him, but he didn't want a riot either, so he handed Jesus back over to the Jews and said "Fine - do whatever you want with him" - paraphrase.

Matthew 27:24-26
Mark 15:12-15
Luke 23:22-25
John 19:12-16

Answer 6

mind u pontius Pilate was not in support of death of Jesus cos he said this man is found with no fault
but the Pharisees ans Sadducee's to which Jesus' message was like a torn in there flesh they schemed to do away with that man Jesus

Answer 7
