Matthew 27:19 - While he [Pilate] was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him." [NKJV]
In the book of Matthew.
That jesus was innocent. and she told Pilate not to have anything to do with a just man.
Yes Pontius Pilate was married, as it was his wife who told him not to have anything to do with Jesus.
The wife of Pontius Pilate came to him and told him she had had a dream about Jesus the previous night, and that he was an innocent man. Pilate disregarded her.
During their encounter, Jesus told Pilate that his kingdom is not of this world and that he came into the world to testify to the truth.
Piate offered to set Jesus free.
Pilate found no fault in Jesus so he told the Jewish leaders to try Jesus themselves according to their own laws. Pilate learned that Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction so Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see him. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty. Pilate proposed to have Jesus scourged and then released. During passover the Romans had a custom of releasing one Jewish prisoner of the crowd's choosing. Pilate thought they might choose Jesus, but the crowd made clear they wanted him to release a prisoner named Barabbas. The crowd became a mob and with increased intensity called for Pilate to crucify Jesus. Pilate knew his first mandate from Caesar was to keep these people under control. Pilate therefore took a bowl of water and washed his hands, declaring his innocence of the blood of Jesus. I do not suppose Pilate never wanted the trial, only that he knew Jesus was innocent and did not want to see Him crucified.
Pontius Pilate (Luke 23:50-52).
Yes that was the custom; on Passover Day one prisoner would have to be released. Pilate wanted Jesus to be free, but the crowd wanted Barabbas free, and he was set free at the cost of Jesus.
Pontius Pilate gave the Jews one lance chance to save Jesus , orto free Barabas. And the crowd wanted Barabas free.
In the New Testament book of Luke chapter 23 verse 2 the Jewish leaders took Jesus to Pilate and told Pilate, " We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and claims to be Christ, a king." They knew that they had to make Jesus sound like he was against the government in order for Pilate to do anything.
Jesus was brought from Caiaphas' house to appear before Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea. The Jewish leaders charged Jesus with subversion of both Israel and Rome. Two of their charges were designed especially to get Pilate's attention. The first was that Jesus opposed paying taxes to Caesar and that Jesus claimed to be king. Finding no fault in Him, Pilate summoned Jesus into Herod's palace and questioned Him further. In the course of the conversation, Pilate learned Jesus was a Galilean and was under Herod's jurisdiction. So Pilate sent Jesus to Herod, who had heard about Jesus and wanted to see Him. Herod had Jesus dressed in a robe and sent back to Pilate. When Jesus came back, Pilate told the Jewish leaders that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of a crime that brought with it the death penalty.
