|wketx=[[Pontius Pilate]] (Latin: [[Pontius Pilatus]]; Greek: [[Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος]], Pontios Pilatos) was the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from 26/27 to 36/37 AD. He is best known for being the official who presided over the trial of Jesus and ultimately ordered his crucifixion. Pilate's importance in modern Christianity is underscored by his prominent place in both the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. Due to the Gospels' portrayal of Pilate as reluctant to execute Jesus, the Ethiopian Church believes that Pilate became a Christian and venerates him as both a martyr and a saint, a belief which is historically shared by the Coptic Church. | |wketx=[[Pontius Pilate]] (Latin: [[Pontius Pilatus]]; Greek: [[Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος]], Pontios Pilatos) was the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from 26/27 to 36/37 AD.
