'Governor' in the Bible

and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did question him, saying, 'Art thou the king of the Jews!' And Jesus said to him, 'Thou sayest.'

And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that the governor did wonder greatly.

And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed,

and the governor answering said to them, 'Which of the two will ye that I shall release to you?' And they said, 'Barabbas.'

And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.'

then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.'
