Next Verse |
When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Note 3 at Mt. 27:19: Matthew is the only writer to record Pilate's wife coming to him with the details of this dream. Secular accounts record her name as Claudia. She is the only one who spoke for, instead of against, Jesus' life during the trial.
This dream, no doubt, came from God since she would have to have dreamed it before she knew of Jesus being brought to Pilate. The Lord not only bore witness in Pilate's heart as to the innocency of Jesus, but He also gave Pilate's wife a very clear message through this dream. Pilate was not innocent in this matter.
