Abstract
Many believe that the characterisation of Pilate in the Fourth Gospel's Trial Narrative is in conflict with the depiction of him in Philo and Josephus. However, this may be due to a misunderstanding of the Fourth Gospel's purpose in having Pilate interrogating Jesus inside the praetorium while disputing with his accusers outside of it. It is the contention of this essay that the evangelist does not do this to emphasise the vacillating character of Pilate, but to dramatise the regal entrance of Jesus late in the trial as, despite appearances, a true king.
