picture of pilate. in both of them, he's a much harsher, insensitive, intolerant governor, who expects to be boss in his own province. philo, in particular, is very negative about him. he describes him as greedy, abusive, violent, and he says that his term of office was nothing but a series of atrocities. i think it would be very difficult to give this kind of a character description of pilate if it was generally known that he was a weakling, that he was a soft touch. and so i think the truth is probably somewhere in between, that he was a reasonably competent governor. he lasted 10 years in the province, which actually was quite a long time for a provincial governor at the time. skinner: jesus is now standing in front of pontius pilate. he's the roman prefect. but he's got a very challenging political circumstance to deal with in the man jesus standing in front of him. he tells the jewish authorities, "i do not find any fault in this man." bond: one of the main things that the gospel writers are trying

the authorities use it as a charge to bring to pontius pilate. >> pontius pilate was the roman governor his jewish subjects and often used it. >> pontius pilate, the very year that jesus entered into jerusalem, was in a very difficult political position. and as a consequence of that, he agreed to help caiaphas and to pin the whole blame for what had occurred within the temple, the disturbance there involving jesus, on jesus himself. ♪ >> scholars think that the most accurate part of the gospels comes here at the end. the eyewitness details of his death by crucifixion, perhaps the most gruesome form of capital punishment ever devised. >> it was a case of a state organized around the principle of terror. and you pointed this terror at anyone who was seen as posing a threat or posing a potential threat. that certainly applied in the case of jesus. >> and to many others. the romans crucified up to 10,000 people during jesus' lifetime, often people just like himself. >> it wasn't unusual at all to have somebody, even a prophet, arrested and executed, even in the gospels, he's killed with two

and then pilate says his famous answer, "what is truth?" ever since that question first appeared in the christian bible, scholars have searched for an answer to help them understand the story of jesus contained in the gospels. [ men chanting ] the christian bible as we know it today is made up of the 39 books of the old testament, hebrew scriptures written between 2,000 and 3,000 years ago. and the 27 books of the new testament. at its heart are the four gospels of matthew, mark, luke, and john, the narrative stories of the life of jesus, first written down in the century after jesus' death. wright: i think what we can say is, not necessarily, we've got these early manuscripts, therefore it must all be true, but we've got these early manuscripts which point back like a set of signposts from different roads all leading to the same city, and because the manuscripts are slightly different here and there, we can see that these traditions have diverged, but they've diverged from a common source. and we can go back very close to that common sourc
