The Message of Pilate's Wife (1886–94) by James Tissot (Brooklyn Museum). It is likely that Pontius Pilate was married. [14] It is possible that his wife accompanied him to his post as governor of Judaea (26–36/37 CE); while governors were forbidden to bring their wives to their posts under the Republic and Augustus, the law was later repealed by the Senate.
A dream of Pilate's is recounted in which an eagle from heaven (a symbol for Jesus) is crucified, revives and flies up to heaven again, among other things. Jesus interprets Pilate's dream for him as his passion, resurrection and the subsequent spread of the Gospel. Pilate's wife, named Procla, has a dream in which an eagle gives her a warning ...
Sources on Pontius Pilate are limited, although modern scholars know more about him than about other Roman governors of Judaea. [14] The most important sources are the Embassy to Gaius (after the year 41) by contemporary Jewish writer Philo of Alexandria, [15] the Jewish Wars (c. 74) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94) by the Jewish historian Josephus, as well as the four canonical Christian ...
Pilate's superscription is nailed to the cross above Jesus. Quod scripsi, scripsi (Latin for "What I have written, I have written") is a Latin phrase. It was most famously used by Pontius Pilate in the Bible in response to the Jewish priests who objected to his writing "King of the Jews" on the sign that was hung above Jesus at his Crucifixion.
The third act of trial is the Washing of Pilate's Hands (Matt 27:23-25) with the interlude of the Message of Pilate's Wife (Matt.27:19). In the illustration of Saint Mark writing the Gospels, there are two figures; Saint Mark is seated in a throne-like chair with his muse, Mary, as Divine wisdom. There is definitely a sense of space within.
"Pilate's wife" is as literal a translation of "γυνὴ Πιλάτου" as "wife of Pilate", there's nothing to make a distinction there. Current use at google books favours "Pilate's wife". There's nothing else. Other distinctions ("self-directed" and whatnot) are WP:OR and/or have no bearing.
The print depicts an episode from the Passion of Jesus in which Pontius Pilate presents Jesus to the people, saying "ecce homo" ("behold the man"), offering to free either Jesus or the notorious criminal Barabbas, and asks the crowd to choose between them. The scene echoes contemporary judicial practice in the Netherlands, in which magistrates ...
The painting in its current frame, hanging in the National Gallery. The Latin form of Pilate's words, "Behold the man", has given the title Ecce Homo to this picture. It is the moment when Jesus comes forth from the rude mockery of the soldiers, clad in a royal robe, and wearing the crown of thorns.
