Pilate is tied down to the Roman order and is stuck in a rut.  It isn't until he meets a young Jewish man named Yeshua who is idealistic that he begins to realize there might be more... Yeshua is basically the opposite of Pilate for he is a dreamer who hopes of more.  He is quite innocent, and is accused of a crime he did not commit.  Yeshua changes Pilate's view. Pilate is a stoic Roman official.  Yeshua really shakes what is right for him. Yeshua and Pilate are completely opposite sorts of people but Pilate begins to change after meeting Yeshua, who leaves great impressions on people.
