Pilot found no fault with Jesus and was willing to turn him loose. He gave the Israelis the choice of Jesus or a murderer. The Israelis chose a murderer to go free. The Romans carried out the wishes of the Israelis.

According to the twisted words your book,
Regrettably this cannot go unchallenged on the basis that you are simply throwing words around without anything of substance to justify your ramblings. Here is a quote from the Wikipedia: In all four gospel accounts Pilate lobbies for Jesus to be spared his eventual fate of execution, and acquiesces only when the crowd refuses to relent. He thus seeks to avoid personal responsibility for the death of Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew, Pilate washes his hands to show that he is not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sends him to his death.[7] The Gospel of Mark, depicting Jesus as innocent of plotting against the Roman Empire, portrays Pilate as reluctant to execute him.[7] In the Gospel of Luke, Pilate not only agrees that Jesus did not conspire against Rome, but Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, also finds nothing treasonable in Jesus' actions.[7] In the Gospel of John, Pilate states "I find no guilt in him [Jesus]," and he asks the Jews if Jesus should be released from custody.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontius_Pilate Now, I am not saying that the Wikipedia is something to totally accept as being the truth and nothing but the truth but it does state that there are four (4) 'books' which state what Billie wrote. (But I cannot help wondering how long it will be before this reference will be edited to remove it because it does not support what you regard as your authoritative record of the event.)
and it is a clear example as to why endless arguing a point by piling on more and more words suffer to confuse more often than to inform.
