What is the relationship between Pilate and Herod?
Pilate and Herod were both Roman-appointed rulers in ancient Judea. They were known to have had a strained relationship, as Herod held authority over Galilee while Pilate was the prefect of Judea. Despite their differences, they came together during the trial of Jesus, as described in the New Testament.
On what day did Jesus face Pilate?
Jesus came before Pilate on the Friday morning of the day He was crucified.
Why was Jesus brought to Herod Antipas the tetrarch of Galilee when he has no Jurisdiction in the province of Judaea where Jesus' trial was held?
This can have no definitive answer, although it is a good and intriguing question. What is indicated in the Biblical record of events is that Herod had for long time wanted to see Jesus so that Herod might see a miracle performed. Also, when Jesus first came into prominence Herod remarked that it was John the Baptist returned from the dead - possibly he felt some kind of guilt for what he had done, and so wanted to see Jesus for himself and so satisfy himself it was not John. In any case, it was certainly a concession Pilate made in letting Jesus go to Herod, since he certainly had no power or authority over the matter. Perhaps Pilate hoped Herod could settle the matter - although even this would be unlikely. It seems likely Pilate knew of Herod's strong desire to see Jesus, since it is recorded that they became friends from this day, when they had been enemies before. So it seems this was a favor that Herod appreciated, even if he was able to offer no substantial help. Archaeology has also confirmed the practice of transferring a prisoner to the 'relevant jurisdiction', although, as Jesus traveled around He would have done 'crimes' according to the Jews, in a number of jurisdictions.
Why do people hate the Jews when it was the Italians who killed the Rabbi Jesus?
The Jews are blamed for the death of Jesus because it was the Jewish religious leaders who manipulated Herod and Pilate into crucifying Jesus by charging Jesus with breaking certain Jewish laws making him worthy of death. The Romans would have rather released Jesus that day and crucified Barabbas. But the Jewish mobs at the behest of the Jewish leaders clamored for the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
Was there really a Passover amnesty that allowed Pontius Pilate to release a prisoner during the time of Jesus?
Yes that was the custom; on Passover Day one prisoner would have to be released. Pilate wanted Jesus to be free, but the crowd wanted Barabbas free, and he was set free at the cost of Jesus.
Why did the Romans capture Jesus?
Jesus wasn't "captured," by anyone. The use of the word 'capture' implies Jesus was some kind of fugitive from the law... which He wasn't. The ad hoc militia that arrested Him was sent by the religious leaders of the Temple. They knew where He was. They paid for the information. Jesus was subsequently handed over to the Romans early the next morning. The Romans did nothing to gain control and jurisdiction over Him. Temple authorities handed him over "on a silver platter."
Which foreign countrycontrolled the countryjesus grew up in?
All of the land of Judah was under the control of the Roman Empire at this time. The Emperor ruled the entire empire; the Emperor appointed kings and governors to rule areas within the empire. Emperors during the Life of Christ are Augustus and Tiberius; some of the more famous Biblical kings and governors in Jesus's day include Pontius Pilate; Herod the Great and Herod Philip.
Whom did Jesus call a fox?
31 At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.” 32 But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’ 33 Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem. (Luke 13:32)
Which Roman governor sentenced Jesus to death and why?
Pontius Pilate. He gave Jesus over to the Jewish leaders to be crucified, not because he belived Jesus to be guilty, but because he was afraid the Jewish leaders would cause more unrest in the region if he didn't. As the governorship of Judea was almost a punishment, he was looking to his own career when he made the decision.
In the song the twelve days of Christmas what is sent to Jesus on the eighth day?

Was pontius pilate a bad guy?
In my opinion, i don't think Pilate is affiliated with evil. When the people of Jerusalem brought Jesus to him, he feared their anger should he release Jesus. He was neutral, saying that the crowd choose between freeing Jesus or the criminal Barabbas, as on that day, it was custom to release a prisoner. The crowd instantly selected Barabbas, and Pilate cleaned himself in holy water so that he may not be punished for the death of a man that was not made from his choice
Was Pilate the high priest during Jesus day?
No, Pontius Pilate was the Roman Procurator of Judea. (Like a governor). It was his job to keep the peace between Rome and Judea. Pilate was the authority in Judea, even over the High Priests except in religious matters. When Jesus was brought to the Jewish leaders He was taken first to Annas. Annas had been the High Priest from A.D. 6 to A.D. 15. Then Jesus was taken to Caiaphas the current High Priest and son-in-law to Annas.
