With the death and resurection of our Lord Jesus, we sometimes look at Pilot as a bad guy in the picture. Pilot was a mere pupet in God's plan to reunite with His creation(us). At the time of the scene at hand with Jesus at the quarters of Pilot, Pilot was either just coming into office or was trying to. With the people tired of Rome occupying the area and the corrupt religious leaders of the times trying every way they could think of to have Him killed. He did what he could(legally) to help Jesus get out. He tried to send Him back to Caiaphas, but the crowd said otherwise. Then he let the crowd know that he was washing the blood from his hands that he didn't want anything more to do with the murder.
