Jesus's trial before Pontius Pilate does start to feel like two men quipping at each other about the nature of true. Pilate gets portrayed as hapless or spineless, but history reveals him to be absolutely ruthless. On the other hand, Christ won't even raise a hand in his own defense. He dies willingly out of love. This conversation functions on a symbolic level for the difference between earthly empire and the Kingdom of God. Who do you want to be your ruler? What Kingdom do you want the world to look like?
