Even more interesting: had Pontius Pilate known - or had Jesus told - then his execution would have been stayed; and, according to Christian theology, at least, he would have never been the Savior of the world - in which case, humanity would still be "dead in trespass and sin" and a horrible "final judgment" would have been imminent.
