Did Pontius Pilate believe Jesus was guilty?

O Yes, because Jesus told him he was a king come to take back Israel from the Romans.
O Yes, but he didn't have the authority to carry out the death penalty, so he turned Jesus
over to the Jewish authorities.
O No, but he also thought Barabbas was innocent, so he was fine with the Jewish people
asking for him to release Barabbas.
O No, he told the Jewish authorities that he found no fault in Jesus.
O No, Pilate believed that Jesus was the son of God and became a Christian.
