Pilate page 22 by ric gustafson.



Pilate stared at the crowd. " Is there anyone who can offer evidence in favor of this prisoner?".
No one came forward.
" Again is there anyone who will testify on behalf of this prisoner?".
Rabbi Jonathan spoke up. " My Prefect, this man is a born troublemaker".
" Why do you say that?".
" This man's teachings are stirring up the people starting in Galilee and spreading all the way to this city".
" Rabbi, did you say that this prisoner is from Galilee?".
" Yes Prefect, he came from Nazareth".
Pilate's eyes lit up. " So the prisoner is under the authority of Tetrarch Herod Antipas".
Caiaphas spoke up. " Yes Prefect, he is".
" Caiaphas, is the Tetrarch in Jerusalem at the moment?".
The chief priest looked at the others. " Yes Prefect he is".
" I will send the prisoner over to him".
Caiaphas consulted with the other priests. " As you wish my Prefect, we will accept that".
