When morning came, the third trial of the Truth took place, with the result that the Jewish Sanhedrin pronounced the Truth should die. However, the Jewish council had no legal right to carry out the death penalty, so they were forced to bring the Truth to the Roman governor at the time, a man named Pontius Pilate. Pilate was appointed by Tiberius as the fifth prefect of Judea and served in that capacity A.D. 26 to 36.
Kinaumagahan, naganap ang ikatlong paglilitis sa Katotohanan, kung saan ayon sa Sanhedrin ang Siya ay dapat mamatay. Ang konseho ng mga Hudyo ay walang legal na karapatan upang magpataw ng parusang kamatayan, kaya naman napilitan silang dalhin ang Katotohanan sa Romanong Gobernador ng panahong iyon na si Pontio Pilato. Itinalaga ni Tiberius si Pilato bilang panlimang punong gobernador ng Judea at naglingkod siya mula A.D. 26 hanggang 36.
