'Governor' in the Bible

They bound him with chains, led him away, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

Meanwhile, Jesus was made to stand in front of the governor. The governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" Jesus said, "You say so."

But Jesus did not reply at all, so that the governor was very surprised.

At every festival the governor had a custom of releasing to the crowd any prisoner whom they wanted.

So the governor asked them, "Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?" "Barabbas!" they replied.

If this is reported to the governor, we'll personally persuade him to keep you out of trouble."
