To Be a Christian: The Anglican Catechism in a Year Day 62. Why does the Creed say that Jesus suffered under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate? (2026)
Today is day 62 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the seventh line: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate” and studying question 62.
62. Why does the Creed say that Jesus suffered under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate?
The Creed thus makes clear that Jesus’ life and death were real events that occurred at a particular time and place in Judea in the first century AD. (Psalm 2:1–6; Luke 3:1–2; 23; Acts 4:24–28).
We will conclude today with The Collect for Monday of Holy Week found on page 607 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
