historical sources, however, we can also look at this &#8220;story&#8221; from the other side.\u00a0<strong>The cult personality of Christians<\/strong>\u00a0became only a short and marginal diversification of Pilate&#8217;s political power.\u00a0So what was the man who\u00a0<strong>killed Christ<\/strong>?\u00a0<span id=\"more-121\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The beginning of the birth of anti-Semitism?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 26 AD, an influential soldier came to Jude i to establish order and <strong>\u00a0suppress riots<\/strong>\u00a0that arose mainly due to taxes.\u00a0The Roman historian Tacitus aptly expressed the Roman idea of \u200b\u200bestablishing peace:\u00a0<strong>&#8220;The Romans will create a desert and call it peace<\/strong>\u00a0.&#8221; However, the Gospel portrays Governor Pilate as a weakling.\u00a0But the very fact that you kept power in Judei\u00a0<strong>for ten years<\/strong> speaks favoring his skill.\u00a0His capable government overshadows the crucifixion of Christ.\u00a0Is it really true that, following the request made by the Jewish priests, he\u00a0<strong>washed\u00a0<\/strong><strong>his hands<\/strong> over the matter\u00a0?\u00a0Would a soldier and a politician of that era be able to make such gestures?\u00a0A historical historian portrayed him as cruel, stern, and therefore<strong>\u00a0capable governor<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0He stands as a shadow over the fact that for almost 2000 years there has been some unwritten\u00a0<strong>hostility between the Christian and Jewish communities<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Is it possible for us for two millennia to believe that all the blame for the death of Jesus is borne on their shoulders by the Jews and the Romans looking at everything with reluctance?\u00a0If they could, would they stop everything?\u00a0But this is a totally distorted truth that probably led to the birth of\u00a0<strong>anti-Semitism<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0All this was to be caused by an innocent scene described by Matthew in his gospel, where Pilate is relieved of responsibility and fully transferred to the Jews.\u00a0It is a curse that the Jewish population cannot get rid of.\u00a0But the Romans also had their own reasons for wanting to remove Jesus.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pilate as an intelligent diplomat and high priest<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the other stewards of Jude i excelled in cruelty, they were crazy and violent, Pilate was an <strong>intelligent diplomat.\u00a0<\/strong>The fact that his \u201cpeaceful tactic\u201d was based on him was also evidenced by the fact that during his administration only three people were crucified.\u00a0His predecessor, Gratus, executed up to two hundred such executions.\u00a0Pilate is proof that even the\u00a0<strong>Prefect<\/strong>\u00a0, which is an army rank, does not have to strengthen his strength with a weapon, but especially with sharpness and cunning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pilate was also a Roman\u00a0<strong>high priest<\/strong> .\u00a0This greatly influenced his thoughts and actions.\u00a0The cult of imperialism he brought to Judea provoked the local Jews.\u00a0The Prefect had to learn to treat them so that he did not have to shed blood, but simultaneously gained authority and maintained order.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Jesus gets into Pilate&#8217;s sphere of influence<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Judea had a strong desire for freedom, and at that time a\u00a0<strong>preacher Jesus<\/strong>\u00a0appeared in Galilee\u00a0, speaking of the coming Kingdom of God.\u00a0It gives hope.\u00a0However, we must realize that he was not the first to claim to be a Savior.\u00a0There were at least three of them before him.\u00a0Pilate noticed Jesus, but he hoped to deal with his tolerated but not the most popular ally of\u00a0<strong>Herod Antipas<\/strong>\u00a0, the steward of Galilee.\u00a0But Jesus escaped Herod&#8217;s hostility and got into Pilate&#8217;s sphere of influence.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Mock Alliance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jewish holidays of the celebration of God were traditionally held\u00a0<strong>in Jerusalem<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Pilate came here three times a year to ensure a smooth run.\u00a0However, the presence of troops provoked the Jews and paradoxically led to greater tension.<\/p>\n<p>To put himself under the skin of the Jews, Pilate, by using proven tactics, pretended\u00a0<strong>an alliance<\/strong>\u00a0with a high aristocracy,\u00a0<strong>temple priests<\/strong>\u00a0who regarded themselves as the natural leaders of the crowd.\u00a0Because the prefect was chosen by the Jewish high priest, the priests took it from his hand.\u00a0The high priest\u00a0<strong>Caiaphas<\/strong>\u00a0, also known from the Gospel, was the mediator between Pilate and the people.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Jesus is out of the ordinary model<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jesus&#8217; influence grew.\u00a0He acted as a roar, but did\u00a0<strong>not fit into any model<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Thus, a potential enemy was born, but Pilate did not know how to deal with it.\u00a0For Jesus never preached directly against the Romans.\u00a0But as far as Jewish priests are concerned, this is about something else.\u00a0He openly attacked them, questioned their behavior and provoked them, for example, by pretending to be a walking temple distributing forgiveness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
