Before Pilate.

A look at Pilate, the governor who had to decide what to do with Jesus.

Before Pilate

Day 3: Before Pilate

Pilate was the Roman governor of Judea, ruling about seven years. He had made enemies by pushing limits, including using temple funds for an aqueduct. Rome wanted peace. On Friday morning, religious leaders brought Jesus to Pilate, asking for execution. Though Pilate found no threat, he offered the crowd a choice.

What this looks like in practice

In a weekday preschool room, a story like Pilate's is told in short pieces during a group gathering. Teachers keep language simple and let children wonder out loud. Children might act out the parts with simple props. Parents can ask their child what they remember. Teachers share what was discussed so families can talk at home.

The practical benefit shows up at home. A child who hears this story may start naming fairness and hard choices in their own words. They might say, "That wasn't fair," or ask why someone didn't just tell the truth. Those small moments give parents an opening to talk about right and wrong together.
