 =v.13 So when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat

 seeking someone to devour. 
v.9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced 
 by your brotherhood throughout the world.

=A.D 36 Pilate lost his position 
=A.D 39 Pilate died 
Jesus--crucified—resurrected—forever king 
Pilate—to survive he killed Jesus--A.D36—A.D 39 he died—forever condemned
