Abstract
The Truth is inspired by sub-textual inferences from probably the most captivating literary document in existence, the Bible. In The Gospel According To St. Matthew {Matthew 27:19}, Matthew captures the account of the Christ of the Christian scriptures and of world history, standing trial before Pontius Pilate, a potentate of Roman rule and Governor of the district of Judea at the time. While Pilate contends with either to kowtow to popular pressure and send the Christ to an excruciating death on a cross or to set him free, he receives a missive from his wife persuading him to not implicate himself with the travesty of justice regarding the “just man” who stands accused before him. To what extent this communique influenced Pilate’s ultimate decision we may never be able to amply tell in the dispensation of time. The Truth, via the gift of imagination made available to each of us by our Creator-God, takes a peek into the {hypothetically} possible interaction Pilate had with his wife when he returned home from the trial that did, after all, send the Christ to the cross!
