I think that the validity of the Gospel's account regarding the role of Pontius Pilate in the Crusifixion is contestable. One reason is Pilate's own account in Matthew 27:24:
> So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a

According to the biblical accounts, Jews are condemned for promoting the execution of Jesus Christ on the cross.
However, the Roman Empire was portrayed as the antagonist and Pilate was drawn as playing a good role in all this jazz just because Paul was interested in spreading Christianity all over Rome.
- Is there historical evidence that Pilate stole money from the Holy Temple in Israel and invested that money in building an aqueduct?
- What historical sources provide information about the money stolen by Pilate?
