Notes
"A Noble Lady" (pp. 89-105) is about Pilate’s wife, Procula, including her efforts to persuade Pilate to spare the life of Jesus. While Watson discounts the notion that Procula was a Jewish proselyte (p. 95), he speculates about her receptivity to moderating Jewish influences, even a "mystical friendship" between her and Jesus.
