yeshua / pilate

Pilate is, in a way, naive, as compared to Yeshua. Yeshua assumes that people are fundamentally good (calling people "good men", etc.) Pilate on the other hand has clearly defined rules of right and wrong and wants people to fit into his own predefined categories. I would say the most contrasted point of comparison would be that Yeshua is open minded, whereas Pilate is close minded.
