Pontius

The ultimate persecutor. If this person is against your way of living, sense of humor, or ethics, he or she will do whatever they can to take you down.

Sam did not enjoy the jokes I was making about Jimmy. He is so Pontius

Pontius

Pontius Pilate... Somebody who allows something to happen that they could have prevented. Then they reap the benefits.

Somebody who defers responsibility for actions to somebody else and then reaps the benefits. Read the example, it makes more sense.

A: "So-and-so is going to get fired unless you say something!"
B: "That's not my responsibility"
A: "Good attitude, Pontius."

Pontius Pilate

Roman Judge at the Trial of Jesus Christ. Ordered the execution of Jesus but did so very reluctantly. Didn't believe Jesus conspired against Rome or committed treasonous actions.

A "Pontius Pilate" would be a person forced to do something they don't want to.

Cop #1: I can't believe I had to give a man in a Santa Suit a DUI.
Cop #2: Haha, you are such a Pontius Pilate

Pontius Pilates

A sadistically unpleasant pilates instructor.

He had been warned by friends that she was difficult and demanding in her sessions, but he was unprepared for this Pontius Pilates instructor who tortured and abused him on the body reformer as if it were a crucifix and he a convicted infidel.
