Pilate is, in several ways, a coward. Moreover, he is not living in a way true to his beliefs. In other words, he is living inauthentically. This is seen in the fact that, despite wanting to save Yeshua, and in his dream realizing that he would like to risk his career for him, Pilate did not. He begins to change and make up for that by killing Judas, but it remains to be seen whether he has changed completely or whether that was a small, empty gesture.
