Best Answer

Mat 27:19 MKJV

(v.19) But as he was sitting down on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him [Pilate], saying, Have nothing to do with that just man, for today because of Him I have suffered many things in a dream.

In his notes Robinson says in his RWP [Robinson's Word Pictures] that her name was "Procia":-

Mat 27:19 -

His wife ... Tradition names her Procla and even calls her a Christian which is not probable. But it was enough to unnerve the weak Pilate as he sat on the judgment-seat up over the pavement.

However, Robinson's RWP was first published in 1930 - over 180 years ago - and much new information has since been discovered. One is that the name of Pilate's wife was Claudia Procula and the following details are known about her:-

  • granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus
  • illegitimate daughter of Tiberius' third wife Claudia.
  • Was a royal princess
  • Lived in Nabron
  • married at 16
  • marriage was arranged by Sejanus [aknown machiavellian Roman politician]
  • wife of the highest Roman official in Judea,
  • Friends with Jairus and Salome whos 12 yr old daughter Semida was healed
  • she was a secret disciple.
  • tried to save Jesus
  • had vision of Jesus' wounds and blood before flogging had been ordered
  • had vision of heavenly judgement of mankind with Jesus as vengeful God and Judge
  • Centurion at cross mentioned by name
  • Pontius dismissed from post and sent back to Europe
  • Their child [10?] dies
  • She suffers for her faith in Christendom
  • she is celebrated on Dec. 24Th Greeks' saints day

WHY DID PONTIUS PILATE EXECUTE JESUS?

Pontius Pilate did not want to have Jesus crucified. The Sanhedrin (a Jewish priestly court) accused Jesus of blasphemy in relation to Mosaic Law. Some of its members brought Jesus before Pilates accusing him of sedition against Rome for opposing the payment of taxes and for saying that he was a king. Pilates did not think that Jesus was a threat. He tried to save Jesus by using a custom of releasing one prisoner for Passover (a Jewish festival). He brought Barabbas, a criminal and told the crowd to choose between him and Jesus. The crowd demanded Barabbas to be freed and Jesus to be crucified.


Why did people want to crucify Jesus?

Jesus did not commit any crimes. Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Jude,a had Jesus crucified because the crowd in Jerusalem wanted him executed. Jesus was arrested by the Sanhedrin, a council of Jewish judges. During a trial before the high priest he was asked if he was the son of god and Jesus answered affirmatively. He was accused of blasphemy. The Jewish judges then took Jesus to Pontius Pilates, the Roman governor of Judea, whom they asked to judge and condemn him. The Jewish judges could not present their accusation of blasphemy to Pontius Pilates because the Romans had no jurisdiction over Jewish religion. Therefore, they brought thre charges which could be relevant to Pontius Pilates. They accused Jesus of perverting the Jewish nation, of forbidding the payment of the tribute due to the Romans and of sedition against the Romans by claiming to be the King of the Jews. Pilates asked Jesus if he was the king of the Jews and Jesus replied "If you say so". Pilates was reluctant to condemn Jesus. He sent Jesus to be tired by Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee Jesus is a Galilean. Herod Antipas mocked Jesus' claims, put an expensive robe on him to make him look like a king, and return him to Pilate. Pilate called the Jewish judges and said that he had not found him guilty. A crowd assembled in from of his residence wanted the execution of Jesus. In the Roman provinces only the Roman governors could issue a capital punishment sentence. Pilates tried to defend Jesus, but the crowd insisted. He then used the custom of the Roman governor to release one prisoner at Passover and told the crowd to choose between releasing Jesus or Barabbas, a notorious murderer, hoping that they would chose Jesus. However, the crowd wanted to release Barabbas and crucify Jesus. Pilates washed his hands to show that he is not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sent him to his death.


What was the warning that Pontius Pilate received and who was it from?

Pilate was warned to have nothing to do with Jesus as he was a just man. His wife sent the warning to him after experiencing bad dreams the night before. The Romans considered dreams serious omens and so Pilate's wife gave the warning.
