I'm like Poncio Pilates

So, in another words as well as pilatos did an said we can see by the context that he was with tied hands ,we can use the name of him to explain that we are with Tied hands too so ,instead of sayin' " i can't do that ",i'm with tied hands "or i'm unable this moment ",we can use another form of sayin' : 'I'm like Poncio pilates ". it is good for those that understand the bible .
