Pilate’s episode is the largest section in Vida’s Christian epic Christias. In this episode, Roman Pilate is attracted to Jesus and tries to save him from charges of Jews. However he cannot restrain furious Jews, at last he himself decides to execute Jesus. Making use of various texts, Vida composes this episode uniquely. Especially, Vida describes Pilate’s changes of mind in an impressive manner. Pilate’s mind is attracted to Jesus by seeing Jesus’s figure and listening to the story about Jesus. In addition, Vida describes the scene of Pilate’s failure of the defense for Jesus in the manner of ancient (Greco-Roman) epics. Pilate who firstly tried to persuade Jews by speeches decides to release Jesus by force. In this decision scene, he seems to be the hero in the ancient epics. And its close, i.e. Satan’s throwing Fear and Pilate’s surrender is also similar to the description of changes of mind in ancient epics. In this series of Pilate’s episode, we see the difficulty between human being and religion. Pilate is a very follower of Jesus and shows pathos for Jesus. However, by Vida’s many implications, we recognize that Pilate is essentially the habitant of polytheistic Roman world and doesn’t understand what Jesus is truly. Therefore, we can read this episode as a sort of the story on the conflict between human being and the religion.
