This question is one of the most profound statements in Scriptures, spoken by an unlikely figure.
The New Testament refers to him as Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect (governor) of Judea under Emperor Tiberius from 26 to 36 C.E.
The events unfolded when Yahushua the Messiah was brought before Pontius Pilate by the Jewish religious leaders, who sought to have him executed by the Roman authorities.
Historical evidence dates this event to Abib 14, Passover day, in the year 30 C.E., corresponding to Thursday, April 6.
Could Pilate grasp some sense of truth from Yahushua?
