Jesus

Jesus's life is most of the New Testament of the bible, and Jesus got a discipleship. Jesus was betrayed by Judas who turned him into the roman soldiers.

Pontius Pilate

I feel that Pontius Pilate is always getting the short end of the rope. He didn't actually want to send Jesus to the cross, but other religious leaders wanted Pontius Pilate to, and strong-armed Pontius Pilate to sending Jesus to the cross.
