Location
1. John 18 : 28–29: “Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium [governor's headquarters, ESV; palace of the Roman governor, NIV], and it was early; and they themselves did not enter the Praetorium so that they would not be defiled, but might eat the Passover. 29 Therefore Pilate came out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this Man?”
2. The word for praetorium, governor's headquarters, and palace all refer to the same location. These same words describe where the Apostle Paul was kept in custody at Herod's Palace or Praetorium (Acts 23:35). The best translation seems to be, palace.
3. Where was Pilate's Palace, also known as Pilate’s Praetorium or headquarters, located? Some believe it was located at the Antonia Fortress. I once thought this as well. However, after much research and considering the archaeological evidence, I now believe the best option is Pilate’s Palace, which is located just south of the Jaffa Gate. Pilate’s Palace was first built and used by King Herod and later used by Pilate and other Roman governors.
4. Herod's Palace Fortress in Jerusalem is located adjacent to the western city wall of Old Jerusalem, in the area now encompassing the Armenian Quarter. It begins at the Kishle building and ends at the present line of the modern (Ottoman period) wall west of Zion Gate. It consisted mainly of two palace wings running north and south and had in the middle of the two ends a large garden. In the area of the Citadel of David and Jaffa Gate, just north of Pilate’s Palace, Herod erected three huge towers for additional protection in case of pending danger. It should be mentioned that Pilate’s Palace was, at first, Herod’s Palace.
5. In the 1970s, the western wall of the city was excavated from the Jaffa Gate to the northwest corner. This particular area was overseen by Magen Broshi and Shimon Gibson. The excavation line can be seen in the wall today by noting where it turns darker. This darker part was covered by dirt until unearthed.
6. If the location of the trial of Jesus took place at Pilate's Palace, then the location of the Via Dolorosa would be different than it is today. You can see in the Google map above where the likely route could have been.
This route would have led Jesus outside the city walls to Calvary (modern-day Church of the Holy Sepulchre). This route is very likely as the Romans afflicted their criminals with maximum humiliation in order to teach others not to do the same. Of course, in the case of Christ, He was fully innocent, and the Jews and the Romans were the true criminals.
