In this episode, we trace Pilate’s career from his appointment under Sejanus to his downfall under Tiberius, using ancient sources (Josephus, Philo, Tacitus) and archaeology (the Pilate Stone) to paint the political pressure cooker that led to Jesus’ crucifixion. We unpack Pilate’s four provocations against the Jews, why “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend” cornered him, and how he was ultimately removed from office—with later traditions about his fate. Stick around for the biblical scene-setting and a clear, history-grounded narrative you can share. If you enjoy this, please like, comment, and subscribe!
