Pontius Pilate In this paper I will be making the case that Pontius Pilates crucifying of Jesus was not only a political move but also an act to dominate the generally not so compliant Jewish populace of Judea. This act of domination was a Roman tactic used throughout their stay in the region and to Pontius Pilate‚ Jesus was a mere stepping stone on his way to complete subjugation of the indigenous peoples and to stronger alliances with the Jewish aristocracy and Herod Antipas.

The 1st piece of writing I chose was the Spartan Creed written by a man known as Tyrtaseus.

Even though the nails kept Jesus upright on the cross‚ they didn’t really keep Him there

One miracle that Jesus of Nazareth performed was the healing of a deaf man with a speech impediment. The story of this miracle starts in a crowd where a deaf man comes up to Jesus and asks to be healed. Jesus takes him away from the crowd‚ heals the man‚ and tells him not to inform anyone about Jesus’ healing of him. The man disobeys him and proclaims the goodness of Jesus to everyone.
