CHAP. IX. Of the Times of Pilate.
THe said Historian agrees also concerning the Reign of Archelaus after the death of Herod, declaring the manner of it, how both by his fathers Testament, and also by the decree of Augustus Caesar, he obtained the Kingdom of Judea: And how, when after ten years he was deposed from his Government, his brethren, Philip, and Herod juniour, and a 1.1Lysanias governed their Tetrar∣chies. The same Authour, in the eighteenth Book of his Antiquities, makes it plainly appear, that Pontius Pilate was made Procuratour of Judea in the twelfth year of the Reign of Tiberius (who then was Emperour, succeeding Augustus, who had Reigned fifty seven years) and continued so full ten years, almost as long as Tiberius lived. From whence their fiction is manifestly confuted, who of late have published b 1.2 Acts against our Saviour. In which chiefly the title or note of time, inscribed upon the said Acts, does evidently show the Authours thereof to be liars. For those things which these men have impudently feigned concerning the salutary passion of our Lord, are said to have been done when Tiberius was Consul the fourth time, which fell out to be the seventh year of his Reign. At which time it is certain Pilate was not come as Governour into Judea, if we may believe Josephus; who in his foresaid Book does expresly shew, that Pilate was made Procuratour of Judea by Tiberius, in the twelfth year of his Reign.
