    Jesus about who he really is while stalling killing him. Pilate, being a military man knows that 40 lashes will kill a man. So while he still ends up wiping Jesus, which is what he was sent to do, he only does 39. I think that Pilate really feels for Jesus and in this song is truly doing everything in his power to try and help pick Jesus up so he can fight for himself.

    Language was perhaps most auspiciously used when identifying the misnomer of Pontius Pilate, Procurator. Doubt has led us to knowledge about one of the most mysterious and often impermeable aspects of humanity: history. Doubt is also a necessary element in human sciences. Without it, no progress would ever be made. In centuries past, physicians

    What is Good If There is No Evil? This satire involves the devil, a psych ward, and love. Although this story is fictional, it allegorises historical events. The Master and Margarita was written in the time of Stalinism. Mikhail Bulgakov, the author, used a lot of symbolism and magical realism to write about the environment he was in without being forthright about it. He used polarities, such as good vs evil and rational vs irrational, to get his point across to readers. The theme of The Master

    I. Introduction A. Westcott and others believe chapters 15–17 took place in the Temple courts B. “He went forth” it is not clear from where He went forth. C. Kidron is identified with cheimarrou – flowing in winter – it was an intermittent “wadi”. Kidron means black. Perhaps Jesus identified as crossing this dark dry brook as passing from the Holy of Holies to the place where sin in all its darkness appeared to enjoy a monetary triumph. II. The Betrayal

    During this unit, Pontius Pilate questions Jesus as the final decision-maker in this trial. In verse 11 he asks “Are you the king of the Jews?” in which Jesus replied “You have said so.” Pilate continues the interrogation after the elders and the high priest have concluded their testimonies against Jesus. An element of irony is introduced as Pilate is amazed that Jesus made no rebuttal against such claims. Pontius Pilate probes further in verse 13 and asks “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing

    the figure of Ivan has indisputable significance. According to Laura D. Weeks, he points out “he is the character that opens and closes the novel, the source of at least one of the Pilate chapters, and the only truly sympathetic character consistently tied to the Moscow level of the novel”(2). The story of Pontius Pilate is told by professor Woland. He declares that he was present for the entire story he has related to Ivan and Berlioz. And he also predicts that Berlioz will be killed and he will stay

    show him any mercy or respect. Even at the voice of the governor Pontius Pilate, who several times mentions that he doesn't find any guilt or reason to persecute Jesus, the people still wish for his crucifixion. The movie did not really make sense of the motivation of the Jewish high priests or the Jewish people, and it was not explained in the gospels either. However, in Mark 15; 10-11, it suggests that Pontius Pilate "realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed Jesus
