Nine: The scriptures were fulfilled because none of Jesus' bones were broken and He was pierced by a spear. If I was Pilate, I wouldn't have executed Jesus because Pilate had the authority to spare Him and He was innocent.
Twelve: Pilate was trying to do the right thing, but the Pharisees and Jews were preventing him from doing it by convincing him Caesar would be unhappy with him if he didn't kill Jesus. This shows we should not listen to other people about something we know is right.
Forty-seven: Pilate's, "What is truth?" is so relevant even today. How often do I turn away from truth to fret or discuss what is not true.
