Pontius Pilate 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 Christianity is underscored by his prominent place in both the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. Because the gospels portray 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,with a feast day on 19 or 25 June,respectively.
Joseph ben Caiaphas,known simply as Caiaphas in the New Testament,was the Jewish high priest during the years of Jesus' ministry,according to Josephus.

The primary sources for Caiaphas' life are the New Testament,and the writings of Josephus. The latter records he was made high priest by the Roman procurator Valerius Gratus after Simon ben Camithus had been deposed.

Jewish deicide is the notion that the Jews as a people will always be collectively responsible for the killing of Jesus,even through the successive generations following his death. A Biblical justification for the charge of Jewish deicide is derived from Matthew 27:24–25. Some rabbinical authorities,such as 12th-century scholar Maimonides and,more recently,ultranationalist Israeli rabbi,Zvi Yehuda Kook (1891–1982),have asserted that Jesus was indeed stoned and hanged after being sentenced to death in a rabbinical court.
