Question

This man’s children are cured of their deafness in the Book of the Cock, a narrative from the Ethiopian Church who, with the Coptic Church, uniquely venerate this man as a saint. The “Acts of” this man is another name for the Gospel of Nicodemus. (15[1])Other than Jesus, (-5[2])this is the only man referred to by name in the Nicene Creed. When asked (15[1])to change an inscription written in three different (15[1])languages, this man replied, (*) “What I have written, I have written.” (10[1])In a conversation from John 18, this man asks, “What is truth?” While addressing a crowd, (10[1])this man shouts, “Ecce homo!” or “Behold, the man!” This man spares the criminal Barabbas before washing his hands of any guilt. For 10 points, name this Roman governor of Judea (10[1])who sentenced Jesus to death. ■END■ (10[2])
