It’s useful to remember that you are getting four different Roman perspectives on the Passion of the Christ from inside the wall of the Jerusalem Praetorium, which is in diplomatic quarantine inside of Herod’s Jerusalem Palace. In addition, the Jews consider it unclean, generally, and at this time of the Passover, especially to be avoided. Herod, being a Sovereign and above the law of the Torah and Jewish secular courts, probably avoided visiting the Roman section and accepted their prescence in His presence as a price of doing business of being a king, but there were all sorts of hoops an embassy from any provence had to go through. Universally, this was true then and one of the reasons why Donald’s visit with QEII was tres de classe.Thomas Jefferson refused to bow to any royalty, as an expression American exceptionalism. Jefferson was living on stolen valor at this particular moment because, like Trump and most of the crypto-Nazi assholes like John Bolton, Bill O’Reilly and Richard “Dick” Cheney, America’s favorite war criminal, Jefferson had other priorities than military service but loved to talk tough in a “Revolutionary Firebrand” kind of way.It’s worth remembering that Jefferson was in a virtual exhile in Paris while the US Constitution was being hammered out. The soldiers that had actually fought the war didn’t want his dillitante ass in the room. Anything Jefferson wrote in the Federalist Papers was as close as he would get to the actual construction of the US Constitution. If you listen, you will tend to find that southern white politicians tend to revere Jefferson above all other of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence because Jefferson didn’t sell them a pig-in-a-poke with the iron-clad nature of the US Contitution established as settle law at Appomattox, which is why Newt Gingrich has based his career message on reversing the outcome of Appomattox.But that’s another story. The point is, if you follow anything associated with the British Royal Family, now that Sally Hemings is established as a Lady of the Realm and Consort to a Crown Prince, you are familiar with diplomatic niceties. Kings had to talk to Kings and that, in the case of Rome, Pilate represented the Empire and had absolute right of access but it was in Rome’s interests to generally let the locals run the local economy, taxes defining the essential interest. In the economics of Jesus, the tax relationship of Rome to Palestine is a stark example of the Tory Socialism of Reaganomics as it defines the relationship of the GOP Deep State to the American middle class.And this is my way of establishing the cultural context of the four different accounts of the moment Jesus is remanded by the Jewish powers that be in Jerusalem to the desk sergeant at the entrance to the Praetorium where somewhere between 800 and 2000 Roman soldiers were in the house to defend the house and as a quick reaction force to quell any insurgency that might bubble up with the general agitation of Passover, which was not unlike Spring Break at Daytona or the Vatican for the Pope’s Easter Mass.This particular garrison was part of the Roman order of battle in Caesarea, which collected Morning Reports from 2 legions based in the region to police the trade routes crossing the African land bridge. As Newt Gingrich would observe, a “choke point”. And this battalion reflected the garrison nature of these two legions, which is to say, they were bloated by design with people. Like the modern Army division, the legion was the smallest unit that could be designed to operate independently. In this case, Caesarea was Roman seat of government, and these two heavy legions reflected the Roman intention to stay.In comparison, Julius Caesar stripped out all tha ash and trash, cooks, clerks and jerks out of the legions he employed in his campaigns and just kept the lean and the mean. His manpower on the hoof was as small as 4000 lances, but they were the hard core of the hard corps. The legions in Palestine were more like Ringling Brothers circus on the march because they really didn’t have to march all that far most of the time.And, at that moment, the balance of the two legions was deployed in a seige configuration around Jerusalem as crowd control. Eventually, at Passover in 70, this exact contigency would obtain, with Jerusalem swollen with useless mouths and three legions of seriously pissed off Romans behind a wall they erected to keep those useless mouths bottled up until the Romans could break in and slaughter everything thThat’s the frame of reference of whoever wrote the four versions of what went on inside this Latin speaking military community. If you have ever been in the Navy as a Marine or soldier on a ship that become home for a couple of months, you have a fair idea of the Roman military experience inside that Praetorium. If you have ever been on a Royal Carribean cruise ship with as a training workshop as a deliberate learning community, the boundaries that exist between you and the crew doesn’t exist inside the Praetorium or the Navy ship. There is a constant 360 degree awareness of Command, no matter how distant, in the Praetorium and the Navy ship you can’t capture as a civilian.The Gospel of Mark is an intelligence report from the equivalent to the Command Sergeant Major and Chief of Staff to Pilate in Palesting to the intelligence headquarters in the Praetorian Guard in Rome and Mark 15 is almost entirely Roman content. Among other things, there isn’t much of the 1st Century, Second Temple Jewish theology N.T. Wright focuses on. My premise is that Cornelius, the centurion featured in Acts 10, is the author and that he wrote Mark immediately after his debriefing of Peter in that interview for immediate dispersal to Rome. The time-line of Mark is probably the literal sequence of events, with the various intelligence raw intelligence recorded and filed by a date-time method similar to the modern military filing system. The more you read about the Romans, the more they sound like the Old Guard at Ft. Myers going about their business.So, that’s part of the answer to the question. The most popular current portrait of Pilate by everybody is that Pilate was a brutal monster based on the historical details and the various political and/or ideological purposes to characterize him in that manner.The fact is, that portrait isn’t supported by the four gospel accounts, which isn’t particularly complimentary but mostly business like: as far as it goes, Pilate, from the perspective of the people around him (including his own contribution to the narratives, especially in John) is pretty standard issue Roman military governor and, based on his tenure at Palestine, a competent commander from Tiberius’s perspective.The Gospel accounts occur in 33 CE. There is a debate between 30 and 33 in terms of the astronomy of the Passover. Gary Habermas uses 30, and I’m inclined to think it’s just a convenience for him than a conviction: the early chapters of Acts can seem a bit more likely in terms of the time spans 30 allows, while 33 compresses those developments into a time line that’s squishy, especially in terms of Paul’s transition from Saul in Araby. But Habermas’s own scholarship tends to support exactly the sort of explosive series of events between the Acension of Jesus and Chapter 10. It is really Luke’s Scientific Wild Ass Guess of what happened when. Paul is really in the wind until Barnabus begins to rehabilitate Paul’s role in the Jesus movement.In addition, there is a blood moon lunar eclipse in 33 that is referernced in the Gospels, but, for me, the most imporant factor is that Tiberius discovered the Seganus plot in 31 and excutes what might have been a bottle neck in the intelligence coming out of Palestine about anything before 31.We know from Tertullian’s Apology that Tiberius received an intelligence report about Jesus before 36 and proposed to the Senate to elevate Jesus to a legal deity status based on that intelligence report. The Senate rejected the proposal, but one of the things that resulted was the introduction of the category of “christians” nominated by the Roman soldiers on the ground in Palestine. This is to say that, sometime between 33 and 36, the year Tiberius died and Pilate was recalled probably because of a change of administration as opposed to dissatisfaction in his performance, the term “christian” enters the Roman idiom in Rome but it doesn’t show up in the actual Christian literature until it bubbles up in Antioch, a very cosmopolitan city similar to Tel Aviv: on the coast with considerable commerce and social intercourse with Rome.For various reasons, the intelligence on Jesus’ resurrection would have been transmitted to Rome but it might not have been transmitted to Tiberius while Sejanus was running the Praetorian Guard, which he has extensively reforutmed and enhanced as Tiberius’ proxy in Rome. But, being dead in 33, he couldn’t interrupt the flow of intelligence, which is how the term “Christian” got to Antioch.And the events in Palestine occur after the purge Tiberius implemented to scrub out Sejanus’ co-conspiritors. Roman politics was very much the blood politics of the American crime families of the Capone to Gotti era and Pilate was still running Palestine two years after the long knives.I think Tiberius discovered that there was a great deal of social discontent and agitation throughout his Empire: in 40, after Tiberius had died, Philo of Alexandria conducted an embassy to Rome to present the Jewish side of the issue the Greeks had with the Jewish dispensation for worship.I think that the initial intelligence report Tiberius received from Palestine about Jesus indicated that the residue of Jesus’ ministry, which had become super-charged by the resurrection not only among His followers, but by the Roman soldiers who were directly involved in the totally unexpected consequence of resurrection, had gone viral, number one: the story of Jesus would have gone through the Roman legions like grass through a goose. Soldiers are naturally superstitious, anyway, and here was some very big magic; and, number two, the social impact of Jesus on the social unrest in the Galilee was worth preserving as a national security issue. Which is why Tiberius took his proposal to the Senate.But Tiberius was aware of this problem before Jesus was executed as a result of regaining control of his intelligence feed. Tiberius knew he had serious problems and the speculation in various commentaries is that he instructed Pilate to bend over backwards to accommodate the powers that be in Jerusalem. Pilate had blotted his copy book a couple of times dealing with Jewish impertinence and had to back down.So, the short answer to the question is that Pilate didn’t agree to crucify Jesus: he was backed into a corner by orders from Rome to accomodate the Jews, the insistence of the Jews for Jesus’ crucifixion and the leverage the Jews had on his gonads, personally, as an individual.It is also useful to remember that, not only are these largely Roman accounts of what happened inside the walls of the Praetorian, but they are recalled in the spiritual residue of the reality of the resurrection, itself. The Romans didn’t have any idea what they were dealing with: Cornelius had a relationship with the Capernaum synagogue and knew as much about Judaism as anyone in Pilate’s command and he, Cornelius, had the personal experience of petitioning Jesus, successfully, on behalf of one of his household, but it was a relationship conducted at the distance of his foreskin and a tourist’s understanding of the myteries and traditions of the Jewish cultural tapestry. He was the Roman expert on the Jews, but he had never been to a Seder and the whole Apocalypse context didn’t add up, before the fact, to somebody getting the crap kicked out of them, nailed to a tree, stabbed in the side and left for dead running for king of the world three days later.Christianity exists because of the Roman soldiers who killed Him, fair and square, and then tried to understand what happened as a valuable military asset. One of my favorite moments in the Gospels is Mark 15:39And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.It is useful to recognize that much of what is said in the Bible is an interpolation of an emotional response to events in the manner of the Romantic Ideal expressed by Coleridge of moments of great emotion recalled in tranquility.That’s the case of the centurion’s recorded thoughts, but his initial reponse, the one that his Pucker Factor expressed, was “Oops!”In the profession of arms as practiced by the Romans at the time, where dying by the sword was the only compensation for fucking up in a military manner, killing God was somewhat fraught. The version we have of Pilate’s complicity in the crucifixion of Jesus could be purely CYA.
