'Governor' in the Bible

and binding Him they led Him away and handed Him over to Pilate the Governor.

Meanwhile Jesus was brought before the Governor, and the latter put the question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" "I am their King," He answered.

But He made no reply to a single accusation, so that the Governor was greatly astonished.

So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"

"And if this," they added, "is reported to the Governor, we will satisfy him and screen you from punishment."
