Pontius Pilate to TiberiusCæsar the emperor, greeting.^[1]

Upon Jesus Christ, whose case I had clearly setforth to thee in my last, at length by the will of the people a bitterpunishment has been inflicted, myself being in a sort unwilling andrather afraid. A man, by Hercules, so pious and strict, no agehas ever had nor will have. But wonderful were the efforts of thepeople themselves, and the unanimity of all the scribes and chief menand elders, to crucify this ambassador of truth, notwithstanding thattheir own prophets, and after our manner the sibyls, warned themagainst it: and supernatural signs appeared while he was hanging,and, in the opinion of philosophers, threatened destruction to thewhole world. His disciples are flourishing, in their work and theregulation of their lives not belying their master; yea, in his namemost beneficent. Had I not been afraid of the rising of asedition among the people, who were just on the point of breaking out,perhaps this man would still have been alive to us; although, urgedmore by fidelity to thy dignity than induced by my own wishes, I didnot according to my strength resist that innocent blood free from thewhole charge brought against it, but unjustly, through themalignity of men, should be sold and suffer, yet, as the Scripturessignify, to their own destruction. Farewell. 28thMarch.
