Pontius Pilate's wife

thumb|Pilatus and his wife (school of Michael Wolgemut, 1507 ca.) The unnamed wife of Pontius Pilate appears only once in the Gospel of Matthew (27:19), where she intercedes with Pilate on Jesus' behalf. It is uncertain whether Pilate was actually married, although it is likely. In later tradition, she becomes known as Procula, Procla or Procle and plays a role in various New Testament Apocrypha. At a later date, she acquires the name Claudia Procula in Western tradition, as well as other names and variants of these names. Quotes (To Pontius Pilate referring to Jesus) Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him. Matthew 27:19 NKJV.
