This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius
Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the
Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.
TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:

A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new
law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was
apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the
Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke
rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed
in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against
a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus.
This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference
between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored
hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared
to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more
serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with
their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him
by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to
join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never
had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that
compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither
seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He
was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the
people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews -- not the poor but
the rich and powerful.

Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the
Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was
having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened
with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb
as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood
admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was
repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I
told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His
personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers
of His day.

Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of
Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning
these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into
win, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy
seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said,
we must agree -- truly this is the Son of God!

Your most obedient servant,
Pontius Pilate
