Power in Israel was delicately balanced between the Roman occupiers and the Jewish leaders who were held responsible to control the people or lose their privileges (John 11:48). The Romans, as well as being invaders and economic beneficiaries of all their conquered territory, saw themselves as benefactors and generously agreed not to violate social customs or religious traditions. To demonstrate this to the people, Pilate had agreed to release one Jewish prisoner each year.
